A new paper in Science Advances presents the Media Bias Detector: news organizations shape public understanding through what they choose to cover and how they cover it, and this work offers a systematic, scalable way to measure those differences across publishers. It turns the long-qualitative question of media bias into a quantifiable object of study, providing an empirical tool for comparing framing across outlets.
