NewsCube 2 0 An Exploratory Design of a Social News Website for Media Bias Mitigation
We present NewsCube2.0, a social news website aiming to mitigate the effects of bias on socially contentious news issues. For contentious issues, news producers actively try to shape readers' cognition of the issue according to their viewpoints and interests through various types of articles. Also, they take advantage of various framing methods. NC2.0 enables users to collectively create a framing spectrum for a contentious issue. It aims to help readers easily understand at a glance the standpoint from which each article views and interprets the issue in contrast to others from a global perspective. As such, NC2.0 helps readers understand the issue from a plural of viewpoints and formulate their own balanced views, free from a specific biased view.
