An App Idea

For those familiar with the website Turnitin, you are either a professor who uses it or a student who dreads it. The site will take any typed piece of work and analyze it for plagiarism. My proposition for a new app falls under this same idea. Instead of analyzing papers, the app would analyze media reports. So, if there is some report that comes out on CNN, Fox, or any journalistic organization, the user will be able to copy the report into the app. The app would then analyze the story, look for factual information, commentary, track what statistic or quote came from where, and produce a percentage on how trustworthy the particular source is. With the decline of evidence-based broadcasting, people need this app more than ever.
