Transparency score Manipulation audit Alternative sources

Not a truth detector or fact-checker. ContextLenz is a media literacy tool. Instead of telling you what to think, it gives you the context and alternative viewpoints to spot bias and form your own objective conclusions.

Key Features

ContextLenz surfaces the subtle persuasion techniques, emotional language, and framing used in modern journalism — right where you read.

ContextLenz scans the article directly on the page, highlighting loaded language, emotional triggers, and biased framing right where they appear.

No Echo Chambers, Just Context

By comparing viewpoints side-by-side, you get a 360-degree view of breaking news and complex issues — not a single outlet's framing.

ContextLenz never tells you what to believe. It provides more context and alternative viewpoints so you can form your own objective conclusions.
