Spinreactor
Access, compare, and verify news from multiple sources with facts and sources to back them up.
What is Spinreactor?
Spinreactor helps you verify news and claims by pulling information from multiple sources and displaying them side by side for comparison. Rather than taking a single article at face value, the tool gathers reporting on the same story from different outlets, shows you the facts each one emphasises, and traces information back to original sources. This approach is useful if you want to see how different organisations cover the same event or check whether a claim appears consistently across reliable publications. The tool is designed for anyone who reads news regularly: journalists checking competitor coverage, researchers tracking how stories develop, or people who simply want a clearer picture before forming an opinion.
