Blindspot

Blindspots are universal — every outlet and every reader has them. Identifying yours is one of the highest-leverage media-literacy moves. The simplest detection: search the same event across the political spectrum. If your usual outlets barely covered it but the opposing-side outlets led with it, that's a blindspot on your side. Prism flags blindspots automatically on every aggregated story; the Buried Story Index extends this to detect stories with extreme asymmetric coverage across mainstream news vs open social platforms.
