Spot the framing
A real headline from the past few days. Your job: say whether it reads from the left, the center, or the right — judged by its words, not by who published it. Eight a day, no account needed; come back tomorrow to keep a streak.
How this is scored
The answer is Prism’s placement of that article — the reading it made from the piece’s own headline and summary at the time the story was gathered, with a quotation from the piece as the reason. Every quotation is checked to be a real substring of the article before it can be an answer. “Left” covers pieces placed left or center-left, “right” covers center-right and right, and “center” is center. The outlet’s general reputation plays no part — see How the ratings work. Headlines are quoted from the outlets’ own public feeds and link back to the original article.
Missing one isn’t a failure: some headlines really are written straight. The useful part is noticing which word tipped you off — or fooled you.
You will sometimes see a headline from an outlet with a well-known reputation read as plain center — or a centrist outlet run a sharply worded piece. That is the point of judging the article and not the masthead: a masthead tells you less about any single piece than it feels like it should, and the quiz is practice at noticing the words instead.
