# Reliability Estimation of News Media Sources: _"Birds of a Feather Flock Together"_

Dataset introduced in the paper ["Reliability Estimation of News Media Sources: Birds of a Feather Flock Together"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.09565) published in the NAACL 2024 main conference.

The dataset consists of a collections of **5.33K new media domains names with reliability labels**. Additionally, for some domains, there is also a human-provided reliability score available.

Columns of the dataset:
- `domain`: domain name
- `reliability_label`: the reliability label. Values:
  - `1`: generally reliable;
  - `0`: mixed;
  - `-1`: generally unreliable
- `newsguard_score`: human-provided reliability score (only available for a small subset). Value: integer number between 0 and 100.
