Primary Source Scraper door Primary Source Scraper Developer

News lives on the internet now! Various news sources are taking advantage of that by linking to sources, but it's not always clear that they're linking to external sources. It's even less clear whether they're linking to trustworthy external sources.

This project has a few goals:

1. Make it clear whether a news article links to any external sources that readers can use to independently verify that the news is being reported accurately.
2. Highlight the links to those sources
3. (Eventually) Point out the relative trustworthiness of those sources (e.g. a .gov url is likely more trustworthy of a source than a tweet)

Here is an overview of how to use Primary Source Scraper
