Overview
Clarity is a French news aggregation platform that publishes a daily cross-section of the national media landscape. Instead of adding another voice to the news cycle, the Paris-based project collects coverage of the same events from 55 newsrooms and maps each outlet onto a left, centre or right position. Readers see how many publications from each camp addressed a story, how they framed it, and, just as importantly, which camp stayed silent. At the time of writing the site reports roughly 2,639 articles read across 65 topics within each 24-hour window.
What They Offer
-
Cross-spectrum story pages: every topic card carries a colour-coded bar showing the share of left, centre and right newsrooms that covered the event, alongside the exact count of participating publications.
-
Angles morts (blind spots): two dedicated columns list stories the left ignored and stories the right ignored, naming the outlets that did cover them so readers can judge the gap themselves.
-
Les débats: contested subjects are split into named readings, such as a story being framed as a fresh political start by one camp and business as usual by another, with the number of newsrooms behind each interpretation.
-
Baromètre 2027: a live tracker of presidential voting intentions drawn from seven polls and seven polling institutes, combined with a breakdown of which candidates dominate media coverage.
-
Media share chart: a proportional view of which candidates occupy the news agenda over the previous seven days, coloured by political camp and updated continuously.
Who They Serve
The platform targets French readers who want to compare how different newsrooms treat the same event, including media researchers, journalism students and politically engaged citizens. It suits anyone building a habit of reading beyond a single editorial line, and it remains free to access through the website, an RSS feed and a newsletter.
