About PRISM

A terminal for reading between the sources.

PRISM is a media-literacy tool. It doesn’t tell you what to think — it shows you how the same event is being told by different newsrooms, and lets you decide what matters.

1. Ingest

We continuously pull articles from major publishers — Reuters, BBC, Bloomberg, CNBC, Guardian, NPR, Fox News, Al Jazeera, The Hindu and more — covering the same real-world events.

2. Cluster

An embedding model groups articles that describe the same event, no matter how differently they are titled or framed.

3. Analyze

For every article we score sentiment (VADER), detect editorial framing (LLM zero-shot), extract named entities and identify shared facts.

4. Synthesize

A neutral cross-article summary is generated by Claude Sonnet from up to eight publisher accounts — verifiable facts only, no editorial stance.

“The point is not to distrust every source, but to notice which parts of a story each source chooses to amplify — and which parts they leave on the cutting room floor.”
