Veritas Shield - News Evidence Intelligence

See how news articles connect claims to visible sources, passages, and reporting evidence.

Veritas Shield — See How a News Story Supports What It Says 🛡️📰 Veritas Shield helps you look beyond the headline by showing what a news article claims, where its information comes from, and how the evidence connects. It turns an article into a clear Reporting Evidence Map, so you can inspect the reporting for yourself. What Veritas Shield finds: 💬 Claims Identify statements in the article that may deserve closer examination. 🔎 Evidence See the passages and information a claim relies on. 👤 Sources Understand where information comes from and how close a source is to firsthand knowledge. 🗣️ Quotations Connect quoted words to the person or organization that said them. A quotation confirms who said something, not whether the statement itself is true. 🔗 Evidence Connections Follow the reporting path behind a claim: Claim → Source → Supporting Evidence See which sources and passages support each claim and how the pieces of the article connect. ⚠️ Evidence Gaps When Veritas Shield cannot identify a clear source or supporting passage for a claim, it marks an evidence gap instead of treating the claim as fully supported. What you can do: 📊 Understand the Reporting Explore an approachable breakdown of authorship, evidence, claim framing, language, presentation, and verification practices. 🗺️ Explore Evidence Atlas Navigate claims, sources, quotations, and supporting passages as a connected evidence map. Quickly find well-supported claims or places where evidence may be missing. 📖 Read Without Distractions Use Reader Mode to view the article in a clean layout with claims and evidence highlighted alongside the relevant text. ⚖️ Compare Two Articles Compare the claims, sources, evidence, and perspectives used by two articles, including information or viewpoints that appear in one but not the other. 🚦 Get Results That Reflect the Evidence Available If an article cannot be captured or analyzed reliably, Veritas Shield withholds the grade instead of presenting an incomplete analysis as certain. You Make the Judgment: Veritas Shield does not tell you what to believe, determine whether every claim is true, or replace your own judgment. It helps you understand how an article supports its reporting, so you can examine the claims, sources, and evidence yourself. Choose an article. Start a scan. Look beyond the headline. ✨
