Factual Reporting: HIGH

According to their about page “Need 2 Know is a free daily newsletter with all the news that matters. It’s a one-stop-shop for politics, sports, tech, business and entertainment. With a little bit of humor to help it all go down. Some people prefer their news hard-boiled; we prefer our news over easy.”

In review, Need 2 Know is a blog style website that publishes the top 10 news stories of the day. They typically provide a sentence or two summarizing the story with their own words and then link to a source reporting the story. In general, the sources used fall in the left-center category such as NPR, Bloomberg and the New York Times. All the sources used are credible and ranked High for factual reporting. Overall, we rate Need 2 Know Left-Center biased based on story selection that very slightly favors the left and High for factual reporting. (D. Van Zandt 3/3/2018) (Closed 10/30/2019)
