povPRCoverage over labels
We do not reduce every article to a party label. We show who covered a story, who has not yet, and how framing differs, so readers can judge for themselves.
About us
A clearer view of how Puerto Rico's news gets told.
povPR is a news-literacy tool. It groups articles that cover the same story, shows which local outlets reported it and which have not yet, and adds context about each source. The aim is simple: help readers see the full coverage of an event instead of a single headline.
Our mission
In a small media market, a handful of outlets can shape what an entire island believes happened. When a story is amplified by some and quietly skipped by others, most readers never notice the gap. povPR exists to make those patterns visible.
We believe the most useful media-literacy signal is not “which party does this outlet favor,” but how different newsrooms choose, frame, amplify, or ignore the same event. By mapping coverage side by side, we give readers the context to ask better questions of the news they consume.
Transparency by default
Our source profiles and methodology are public and open to review. If we flag a coverage gap, we explain what that does and does not mean.
Readers first
povPR is built to make people harder to mislead, not easier to sell to. The goal is a more informed public, starting with Puerto Rico.
Who builds povPR
povPR is built by a small, independent team that grew up in Puerto Rico and cares deeply about how the island is informed. We studied computer science at MIT and have spent our careers in cybersecurity and information security, including work supporting intelligence and national-security missions.
That background shapes how we work: a habit of verifying claims, respecting data, and treating trust as something you earn through transparency rather than assert. We apply the same discipline here that we applied to protecting sensitive systems — clear methods, careful handling of information, and an aversion to overstating what the evidence shows.
How to read povPR
Coverage notes, gap flags, and micro-audits are generated with the help of automated tools and should be used as signals to orient yourself, not as final verdicts.
