ABOUT
A multi-perspective analysis platform for international news.
OUR MISSION
The Refract helps you break out of your information bubble by showing you how different countries cover the same news. Each subject is analyzed through the media of several countries, revealing differences in framing, tone, and perspective.
HOW IT WORKS

SOURCE COLLECTION
We collect press articles from different countries on the same news topic.
02
COUNTRY-BY-COUNTRY ANALYSIS
Each national perspective is synthesized by identifying the dominant angle, key points, and sources used.
03
BIAS DETECTION
Our algorithms detect cognitive biases present in each media coverage: framing bias, appeal to fear, sensationalism, etc.
04

You can compare perspectives from different countries side by side to better understand how information is treated around the world.
