Credibility ratings platform NewsGuard launches locally
News credibility rating service, NewsGuard has today launched in Australia and New Zealand, and has reported that one in five news sites rated in Australia (19%) and New Zealand (18%) received ‘untrustworthy’ scores.
The result places Australia and New Zealand towards the middle of the pack, with a higher percentage of engagement with low-reliability sites than in the UK (15%) or Canada (4%), but lower than the US (46%), France (33%) or Germany (25%).
