Summary before this update: New Zealand made 259/7 at Eden Park, with Glenn Phillips hitting 107 off 49 balls, and bowled India out for 172/9. India still lead the five-match series 3-1.

“What's missing” before this update:

  • No team explanation: No article gives the captain's or coach's view on why the bowling failed.
  • Toss decision: None of the post-match reports assesses whether choosing to bowl first on this pitch affected the result.
  • Series outlook: Reports do not say what the result means for the final match.

Based on 7 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.

Large outlets read: 1 of 15 (Aaj Tak). Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.

What's missing: No report explains whether choosing to bowl first on this ground contributed to the heavy defeat.

How we score

Ideology score, −10 to +10

Left-leaning (−10 to −3)
Secular-pluralist framing, minority protection, caste justice and voter access, civil liberties, an active state.
Centre (−2 to +2)
Several positions represented fairly, neutral language, reporting kept apart from opinion.
Right-leaning (+3 to +10)
Cultural nationalism, national strength and security, scepticism of group-based policy, voter-roll integrity, market-led growth.

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.
