Balanced Media: Breaking Out of the Echo Chamber
Balanced Media is a free Chrome extension developed by Balanced Media that aims to provide a balance of perspectives in news articles. This add-on falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
With Balanced Media, users can rate articles based on two metrics: whether the article includes their perspective and the political bias of the article. The extension then provides feedback on whether the articles read include perspectives across the political spectrum and also reveals the political bias of the articles.
The main goal of Balanced Media is to recommend articles that include perspectives from across the political spectrum. By exposing users to different viewpoints, the hope is to foster empathy and unity in America.
To get started, simply add the Balanced Media extension to your Chrome browser and continue browsing news as usual. The extension will prompt you to rate the articles you read.
