Glance

Principal Investigator Andrew Lippman


We address two critical elements of news: that it inform, and that it be trustworthy. Glance creates dynamic, real-time, semantic control over news presentation that reveals the inherent slant that underlies coverage of an event. The goal is to empower readers to understand their news intake through a visualization of metadata that empowers readers to choose their news source based computed metrics rather than sensationalized headlines. Relevant additional information, such as sentiment of text and public reaction, is gathered on each topic to further give readers a richer news-scape.
