At AllSides, we watch the media so you don’t have to. That’s not AllSides’ official slogan, and in reality, wethe media and people who hold different views from each other. But in my head, that’s sort of how I make sense of what drives our work.
When AllSides hired me, I was coming from the music industry.

AllSides took a chance on me – someone who understood the news media only at a baseline level – and for that I’m really grateful. After intently watching the news media for a little over a year now, here are some of the biggest things I’ve learned about media andMajor Search Engines Bury the Right , finding coverage from the right can often be difficult.

Next time you read an opinion that gets you really charged up, be it in agreement or disagreement, remember that the writer is only one person with one perspective, just like the rest of us.Keeping Up in the Modern Age of Journalism
