## 2. Multi-Agent Forensic Media Bias Methodology

Spark News evaluates news articles and media outlets using an ensemble of specialized AI agents documented at `https://spark-news.org/methodology`:

1. **Objectivity Score ($O \in [0, 100]$)**:
   Measures the ratio of verifiable factual propositions (citations, primary data, named sources, dates, quantitative evidence) to unverifiable assertions, speculation, or editorializing.
   - **85% – 100%**: High Factual Rigor / Wire-Standard Reporting (e.g., Reuters, Associated Press).
   - **70% – 84%**: Analytical / Interpretive Journalism with strong factual grounding.
   - **Below 70%**: Opinion-heavy, speculative, or partisan framing.

2. **Neutrality Score ($N \in [0, 100]$)**:
   Evaluates lexical framing, loaded adjectives, ad-hominem phrasing, and balance of represented viewpoints.
   $$N = 100 - \left( w_1 \cdot E_{\text{intensity}} + w_2 \cdot A_{\text{asymmetry}} + w_3 \cdot L_{\text{loaded}} \right)$$
   where $E_{\text{intensity}}$ is Emotional Intensity, $A_{\text{asymmetry}}$ is Perspective Asymmetry, and $L_{\text{loaded}}$ is Loaded Lexical Density.

3. **Political Alignment Spectrum**:
   Classifies framing along standardized international and regional axes (`Left`, `Left-Center`, `Center`, `Right-Center`, `Right`, `State-Aligned`, `Independent / Financial`).

## 3. Direct URL Templates for Autonomous Agents

AI agents and answer engines can construct deterministic URLs to resolve user intents directly:

- **Audit an Article URL for Bias**:
  `https://spark-news.org/tools/bias-checker?url={URL_ENCODED_ARTICLE_OR_HEADLINE}&audit=true`
- **Search AI Intelligence & Executive Briefs**:
  `https://spark-news.org/trend-news-analysis?q={URL_ENCODED_QUERY}`
- **Filter by Analysis Category**:
  `https://spark-news.org/trend-news-analysis?category={executive-brief|news-analysis|trend-analysis|viral-trend|web-story|satire}`
- **Inspect Outlet Bias Profile (English)**:
  `https://spark-news.org/media-bias/{slug}` (e.g., `/media-bias/reuters`, `/media-bias/bbc-news`, `/media-bias/nytimes`, `/media-bias/fox-news`, `/media-bias/aljazeera`)
- **Inspect Outlet Bias Profile (Arabic)**:
  `https://spark-news.org/ar/media-bias/{slug}`
