A Rating System For The News
from the news-you-can-trust? dept
Just yesterday we brought up Sam Whitmore's idea from last year of a Zagat's style rating system for news sources. Apparently, the timing was right. Today, Business Week is pointing out that just such a service is launching, called Newstrust. Now it will be interesting to see whether or not it actually matters. How many people would actually pay attention to the such a rating? People find the sites they like and they stick with them. Also, this isn't quite a Zagat's-style system, as it's just rating the overall sites, rather than rating them on various issues.

All you need to do is travel around a bit and you'll get an idea that, from country to country, the takes on the "news" is very, very different.
One should *NEVER* confuse "News"(tm) with the "Truth"(R) or even "Reality"(c).
