Highlight bias while reading a news article.

alt text

Usage

  1. For the first highlight you make on a webpage:
    1. Select the text you wish to highlight
    2. Click on the extension button in your browser (a small red highlighter)
    3. Click on the text that you selected and a small tooltip with highlighter color options will appear. Highlight the text as you see fit!
  2. Following highlights: Highlight as you normally would. Select text, select the appropriate color and the information will be saved in our database.

Notes

  1. Use the following hightlighting scheme to mark-up articles:

    1. Red = clearly biased text/opinionated text
    2. Yellow = context on a topic that may be factual but has been conveniently chosen to surround a subject
    3. Green = clearly factual/unbiased text. Essentially the reason the article was written.
  2. This extension currently does not support un-highlighting text (it screws up our database). While you are marking up articles, please make sure you don't accidentally highlight text that shouldn't be highlighted.
