This outlet's headline tone tracks closely with other outlets covering the same stories. Computed as the mean of (article tone − the mean tone of all outlets covering the same story), so topic-inherent negativity cancels out.
n = 988 consensus-matched articles, trailing 90 days, English-language story clusters with ≥3 outlets.
These are measured quantities with disclosed formulas — not a bias or reliability rating.
