Clarity

Clarity is a French news product that cross-references daily coverage from 56 newsrooms across the political spectrum, from the left to the right, to show where the press agrees and where it diverges. It is built for readers who want every angle on a subject at a glance instead of a single editorial line.

Each story shows how many newsrooms covered it, split by left, centre, and right, so the balance of framing is visible before you open an article. The homepage also states how many articles were read across how many newspapers and topics in the last 24 hours.

Key Features

• Coverage split by leaning: every story lists how many newsrooms covered it and the share coming from left, centre, and right outlets, so framing is visible at a glance.
• Les débats: for contested subjects, Clarity places two opposing readings side by side and shows how many newsrooms back each one.
• Angles morts (blind spots): a section that groups topics covered mainly by one side of the press, so stories one camp ignores do not go unseen.
• Baromètre 2027: a live tracker of voting intentions for the French presidential race, built from 7 polls by 7 institutes between 12 and 22 October, with candidate-by-candidate shares.
• Media space view: a chart of which candidates occupy Clarity's own coverage over the last 7 days, colour-coded by political camp.

• Journalists, researchers, and media students looking for a fast read on framing and coverage gaps in the French press.
