Overview
Clarity is a French news platform that cross-references the day's stories across 55 newsrooms, classifying each outlet by political leaning and showing where framing diverges. Every subject becomes a comparison rather than a single narrative.
Key Features
- Multi-outlet story pages: each topic collects coverage from dozens of newsrooms at once and displays a segmented bar with the share of left, centre and right outlets that picked it up.
- Angles morts (blind spots): two parallel lists show stories that only one side of the spectrum covered, with explicit counts such as "9 rédactions : 6 du centre, 3 de droite, aucune de gauche".
- Les débats: contested questions are broken into competing readings, each labelled with a position ("Porté à droite", "Porté au centre", "Divers") and the number of newsrooms defending it.
- Baromètre 2027: a polling dashboard built on seven surveys from seven institutes, paired with a chart of which candidates occupy media space over the past week.
- Daily subject index: content is filterable by Politics, International, Economy, Society, Culture and Tech, and the edition observed listed 98 subjects in a 24-hour window.
Target Audience
French-speaking readers, journalists and media researchers who want to see how different newsrooms frame the same event.
The product's core proposition is transparency about selection: it does not aggregate for volume alone, it aggregates to expose absence. The blind-spot sections are the most distinctive element, since they invert the usual aggregation logic and report what a given camp did not cover. Trade-offs exist. Classifying outlets into three camps flattens genuinely varied editorial lines, and the whole experience is monolingual and France-centric, which limits its value outside that readership. The interface also leans on dense visual encodings, proportional bars and portrait charts, that assume a reader willing to interpret data rather than skim headlines.
