If its not onside from the offset, it will be fun to watch how quickly this is nobbled by State operatives with fake feedback: 'Rotten Tomatoes for news' allows journalists and public to rate credibility of articles as rival to Newsguard Charlotte Tobitt A website dubbing itself the “Rotten Tomatoes for news” is about to launch a system for journalists and members of the public to rate and review the credibility of news articles. US-based start-up Credder is positioning itself as a competitor to Newsguard, the news rating tool which ranked for all major UK newsbrands last month according to a nine-factor system. Credder, so named because it aims to be the website “dishing out credibility”, will show article rating pages featuring a Critic Rating, indicating the percentage of positive reviews from verified journalists, and a User Rating, showing the same measurement from other news consumers. Co-founder Chase Palmieri told Press Gazette the website would “make news compete for trust instead of clicks, and then drive traffic and revenue to trusted sources”. Explaining why Credder could be compared to film rating site Rotten Tomatoes, Palmieri said: “Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t tell you what movie to watch, but instead provides you with viewers’ feedback so you can decide for yourself. Credder works the same way. “It’s our job to gather news consumers’ feedback, hold the articles, authors, and outlets accountable with ratings, and be a delightful place to get your news.” He added that Rotten Tomatoes co-founder and former chief executive Patrick Lee was Credder’s first adviser. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/rotten-tomatoes-for-news-allows-journalists-and-public-to-rate-credibility-of-articles-as-rival-to-newsguard/ |
