Objective News App Prototype

User Experience Project

Are you interacting with news that is politically biased? Do you feel like you can't see eye to eye on important topics with your friends and family?

While studying at Savannah College of Art, my team and I wanted to address this issue by prototyping a news app that uses data to determine the political leaning of news articles to make visible the most middle ground articles on trending topics.
