For instance, in the article “A year after Russia’s invasion, the scope of cyberwar in Ukraine comes into focus,” the reporting is balanced. The language used is neutral, such as “Russian cyberattacks have been less impactful than initially feared.” The article cites sources like sentinelone.com and zdnet.com.
Another article, “GitHub disables pro-Russian hacktivist DDoS pages,” cites sources like cisa.gov and sentinelone.com and uses neutral words with phrases like “GitHub has disabled accounts belonging to a pro-Russian hacktivist group.” The article is well-sourced, referencing actions by GitHub and detailing the activities of the hacktivist group.
Finally, the articles are generally well-sourced, referencing cybersecurity experts, company spokespeople, and government officials. The language used in the articles is neutral, avoiding emotionally charged words or sensationalism, which indicates a low level of bias.
