Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation?
- Of the 10 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 30% are rated centre, 70% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 23. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 10 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation biased?
- Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation is one event reported by 23 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated left had barely covered it. Coverage accretes for hours after an event, so that is where to look rather than a verdict — the split above is the current count, and it is the one to read.
- Which outlets covered Modi and Carney discuss trade, energy, and security cooperation?
- 23 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
