Stance toward the government
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
The swap test
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
Confidence
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Limited coverage and blindspots
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Not ideological
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
How often the feed refreshes
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:
Wires and the top 20 outlets
checked every 5 minutes
All other outlets
checked every 15 minutes
New story
goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage
Live stories
new articles added every 15 minutes; summary rewritten at most hourly
Home page order
every 15 minutes
Updates are added, never rewritten
New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
Live, winding down, archived
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Sport results skip winding down and are archived after about 2 days, unless police or a court are involved. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
Large outlets missing
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
