πŸ“Contributing to news

The Pool view is split into three main components:

  • Editor: you can read the news text and add labels and comments to each paragraph

  • Sidebar: you can assign a quick score to the news and read about the indicators

  • Work Feed: you can review other people's work on the news, reply and vote

Usually when reviewing a news you would:

  1. Read the text and use your sources to form a general idea about the news truthfulness

  2. Read the indicators to have some more context about the website and publisher

  3. Add comments and labels to the text using the editor

  4. Add a quick score to the news to sum up your final sentiment about it

  5. Debate with other users by replying to comments in the work feed, if needed

This page contains explanations about how to work with the components and their meaning.
