Description:

One of the most important things a person does on a daily basis is follow news. What is this concept of news and the nature of it? We all know that the above question is pretty self explanatory. So, what if the “news” that one gets to know is a modified version of truth? A lot of us do follow one or a couple of specific news channels and subscribe to a specific news paper. And in the process, we often miss out on how that information is being processed and released as news by the other media entities on the same topic. So the purpose of this is to bring into light, the differences and the extent upto which each media organisation is influencing/filtering what is reaching the reader, based on their own reasons and convenience so that, people are less likely to be deceived. Our main aim is to create a web platform where we can show the users how different media channels are portraying the same topic. This project is a combo of ML+Web dev+ NLP+ DJango

Prerequisites:

1. Basic understanding of HTML/CSS/JS
