We use collected information to improve our news aggregation algorithms, analyze trends, and maintain website performance.

INDB is a cutting-edge news aggregation platform designed to help readers navigate the complex modern media landscape. In an era of information overload, filter bubbles, and media fragmentation, INDB provides a unique solution for news consumers who want to understand not just what's happening, but how different outlets are covering the same stories.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote media literacy and informed news consumption by presenting multiple perspectives on the same story. We believe that understanding media bias isn't about avoiding certain sources—it's about being aware of how different editorial perspectives shape the news you consume.
Why INDB Matters
In today's fragmented media environment, most people only see news that aligns with their existing views. Social media algorithms and personalized news feeds create filter bubbles that reinforce existing beliefs. INDB breaks through these barriers by showing you the full spectrum of coverage on any given story.
Key Features
Multi-Source Clustering: We automatically group articles from different outlets covering the same story.
Bias Detection: Our algorithms analyze source patterns to provide transparent bias indicators.
Reliability Scoring: Each source is scored based on historical accuracy and editorial standards.
Advanced Analysis Tools: From narrative imbalance reports to coverage heatmaps and amplification detection.
How It Works
INDB continuously monitors hundreds of news sources worldwide, clustering articles about the same events together. Each cluster shows coverage breakdown by political lean, source diversity metrics, and warning flags for potentially problematic content.
After 10+ years of development, the Internet News Database enters a new era
We're thrilled to announce the official launch of INdb 2.0 — the most comprehensive, AI-powered news aggregation and analysis platform we've ever built.
When we first started working on the Internet News Database back in 2013, the media landscape looked very different. Social media was still emerging as a news source, filter bubbles were just beginning to form, and the concept of "fake news" hadn't yet entered the mainstream vocabulary. We saw a need then for a tool that could help people see beyond their algorithmic feeds and understand how news was being reported, not just what was being reported.
Over a decade later, that need has never been greater.
What is INdb 2.0?
INdb is an AI-powered news aggregation platform that does something no other news reader does: it clusters related stories together from across the political spectrum and provides deep analytical insights into media coverage patterns, source reliability, ownership structures, and narrative framing.
Instead of showing you a single article from a single perspective, INdb shows you how dozens of outlets — from left to right, from mainstream to independent, from domestic to international — are covering the same story. Then it gives you the tools to understand why those differences matter.
Key Features
🔗 Multi-Source Story Clustering Our AI automatically groups articles covering the same events from different outlets. See at a glance how CNN, Fox News, Reuters, The Guardian, and dozens of other sources are framing the same story — all in one place.
📊 Bias & Reliability Scoring Every source in our database is scored for political lean and reliability based on historical accuracy, editorial standards, and journalistic practices. Transparent metrics help you evaluate what you're reading.
⚠️ Misinformation Radar Our new flagship tool flags high-risk content using multiple indicators: single-source stories, sensationalized language, low-reliability sources, state-funded media, and elevated risk patterns.
📈 Narrative Imbalance Report Discover which stories are being amplified by one side of the political spectrum while being ignored by the other. This tool reveals the editorial blind spots that create parallel media realities.
🔍 Amplification Detector Identifies potential coordinated messaging by flagging clusters where multiple outlets publish nearly identical headlines simultaneously.
🗺️ Influence Map Explore the corporate ownership structures behind your news. See which parent companies own which outlets.
📉 Coverage Heatmap A visual breakdown of how different topics are covered across the political spectrum.
🛠️ Custom Feed Builder Build your own personalized news feeds by selecting specific topics, sources, countries, and reliability thresholds.
Why INdb Matters in 2026
We live in an age of information abundance and trust scarcity. Algorithms optimize for engagement, not understanding. Partisan outlets speak past each other. Misinformation spreads faster than corrections. And most people only see news that confirms what they already believe.
INdb was built to break through these barriers.
We believe that media literacy isn't about avoiding certain sources — it's about understanding how different editorial perspectives shape the news you consume. It's about seeing the full picture, not just the slice that an algorithm decided you should see.
A Decade in the Making
INdb 2.0 represents over 10 years of continuous development, refinement, and learning. We've tracked thousands of sources, processed millions of articles, and constantly evolved our algorithms to keep pace with a rapidly changing media environment.
This isn't just an update. It's a complete reimagining of what a news aggregator can be.
See the news. Understand the narrative. Think for yourself.
