Most media literacy asks students to judge whether the news is biased. Clear-Sight teaches them to observe how every article is built — through ten language-based signals any reader, student, or educator can identify. The skill transfers from news to social, AI, and everything in between.
Most tools — and most curricula — ask whether an article is biased. Clear-Sight asks how the article is built. Every signal in the framework is grounded in observable language patterns: word choice, framing structure, sourcing transparency, emotional activation. Either the pattern is present or it isn’t.
That is what makes news literacy teachable at scale, consistent across classrooms, and measurable with pre/post assessment. CSAF does not replace judgment. It gives judgment somewhere solid to stand — and the patterns students learn to see in news transfer directly to social, AI-generated, and persuasive media of every kind.

Quantitative scores, plain-language explanations, direct evidence from the text, and research tools to go deeper. Built for transparency and trust.
Every article receives a score across all ten framework signals. A composite score for quick orientation. Individual scores for the deeper read. And a visual fingerprint that shows the article's construction pattern.
News Literacy explains what the article is doing, why those choices matter, and how the article could serve the reader differently. Every analysis becomes a teaching moment — for the reader, the student, or the newsroom.
What context is missing. What claims deserve scrutiny. Where this article sits in the larger timeline. Whose perspectives were left out. A map of where a more complete understanding begins.
Ask Clear-Sight searches across current reporting and returns a structured, multi-source view — additional perspectives, missing context, and independent data to evaluate the claims yourself.
See what your news is actually doing. Understand the construction choices behind every article you read — and use the Knowledge Lens to see where your literacy meets your attitude toward the news.
