Contribution history
Find analyses you initiated and see their current status.
MediaLens account
From anonymous reader to community member
You can read results without an account. Later, signing in will let you run analyses with credits and no personal API key, track contributions, and help improve the methodology.
Why an account
Useful features without unnecessary data collection
Feedback
Flag an extraction, attribution, or finding with a clear explanation.
Community collaboration
Help create quality reference data and validate the methodology.
Credit-funded analyses
Once signed in, use your credits without entering an API key for every article.
How it will work
Three ways to analyze, public results for everyone
- 01
Browse anonymously
Public analyses and the methodology will remain available without registration.
- 02
Choose how to analyze
Use your own API key once, or use credits once accounts launch; a limited community option is also planned.
- 03
Credits will be the account default
For a signed-in user with enough credits, an analysis will start immediately. A personal key remains an optional one-time route.
- 04
Share a public result
An accepted analysis will have a public link and show its technical provenance and review status.
Contributing
How you can help the community
The community layer is designed to improve quality and transparency, not to rank media outlets or vote on truth. Free community analyses will be limited and will not imply manual human verification.
Suggest an article
Contribute a new, safely retrieved article; duplicates will resolve to the existing result.
Report a specific issue
Feedback will point to an excerpt, attribution, or technical failure so it can be reviewed.
Take part in validation
Once annotation opens, samples can be independently evaluated using the public guidelines.
Privacy is part of the design
Accounts will not be used to profile readers. We will store only what is needed for sign-in, service protection, and accountability of community contributions.
