13 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. Local 3 News is rated centre, so there is no side for it to be counted against and we publish no figure here.

Measured 6 August 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 6 August 2026. Ratings pulled 6 August 2026.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Local 3 News, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
