What this page can—and cannot—tell you
Coverage Lens measures the outlets we actually monitor. It does not pretend to observe every article published in America.
- 1Headlines remain verbatim.
We keep the headline, a short excerpt, the outlet, the date, and the link to the original. Vote Files does not rewrite or endorse it.
- 2Matching follows fixed rules.
Headlines are grouped only when unusual words overlap strongly or both link to the same Vote File. Every group names the words that matched, and weak matches are kept separate.
- 3Position is not credibility.
Left-of-center, center, and right-of-center describe our view of an outlet’s editorial orientation and audience—not whether a report is true.
- 4A gap is bounded.
“Not found” means no qualifying headline appeared from that group of outlets in the 96-hour window. It never means no outlet anywhere covered it.
