NewsTrust is a news portal that rates the stories by the quality of the journalism, as assessed by readers.
Readers are asked to rate stories based on how fair, balanced, accurate, and important the stories are, along with other criteria. The system has been set up to try and limit gaming of the site and to promote a non-partisan balanced view of the underlying journalism.
Along with the major news-media, the new portal is also rating some of the biggest blogs.
You should register and make it a habit to rate the stories. Also, tell your friends (or blog-readers) to do the same. A good way to spread the news is to go and recommend this DailyKos diary so the thousands of Kossians see it and follow up on it.
