What are story ratings?
The Ratings section of a story page shows at a glance what our members think about the journalistic quality of this story. Story ratings are inspired by important principles of journalism (e.g., fairness, accuracy), based on codes of ethics from respected news organizations. Using our review forms, our members evaluate each story for these different criteria, on a scale of 1 to 5 (e.g., Fairness: 1 = not fair at all >> 5 = very fair).
