News24 media bias and reliability
The bias data this site ingests places News24 in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more.
The short answers
Is News24 biased?
The bias data this site ingests places News24 in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is News24 left or right?
The bias data this site ingests places News24 in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. In the three-way grouping used on story pages, that puts it under Centre.
Is News24 reliable?
The factuality data this site ingests describes News24 as high factuality. It reaches us without a named assessor, so it is an unattributed rating rather than our verdict. It does not guarantee that every report is correct.
What News24 has been covering
Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with News24’s own report linked underneath.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has warned that artificial intelligence poses an 'existential' risk to humanity. He called for immediate action and 'cast-iron guarantees' to ensure AI safety and security, citing potential disruptions to critical infrastructure and democratic institutions.

Who says so
The lean above is carried in the coverage data this site ingests, which names no rater for it. We publish it because it is what the rest of the site groups News24 on, and we will not present it as an assessment by anyone in particular until we hold one.
How reliably it reports fact
A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.
High factuality
The rating above reaches us without a named assessor, and is published as that rather than as anyone’s verdict.

What we have seen ourselves
We have not measured our own coverage of News24 yet. These figures are computed on a schedule and this section fills in when they are.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where News24 publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
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.
