About Blindspots in News Coverage

What are blindspots? Stories that receive coverage from sources with one political lean but are ignored or underreported by sources with different perspectives.

Why do they matter? Understanding blindspots helps you see the full picture of local issues and avoid missing important stories that might not reach your usual news sources.

How we detect them: Our algorithm analyzes coverage patterns across different types of news sources and identifies stories with unusually one-sided coverage.
