What B-grade news sources have in common

Every source on this page combines two filters: a News publication category and a B-grade SourceScore Index. That intersection means these sources share a structural profile — they meet the editorial and citation-quality bar of B-grade (70–84) AND they operate within the news category's specific publication norms.

The within-facet sub-score means above (82 / 75 / 77) tell you how this facet differs from the B-grade average overall. A higher Discipline mean than the B average means news sources in this band cite more rigorously than other B-grade categories; a lower Modern Reference mean usually flags structural access limitations (paywalls, legacy infrastructure) typical of newspublishing.
