The survey is over, but we encourage you to try out our review tool, to test for yourself its effectiveness in evaluating the quality of news stories.

Thank you for taking our survey to test our new online review tool. This tool is designed to let citizen reviewers rate the quality of news stories based on widely accepted journalistic principles. The goal of this project is to help citizens find the high-quality news they need to make informed decisions about our democracy; a secondary goal is to provide useful public feedback to journalists.

This survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. After answering a few questions about you, you will be asked to test a prototype of this tool, and finally answer a few questions about the tool itself.

Required questions are marked with an asterisk (*). When you have answered all questions on a page, click the "Next" button at the bottom of that page. Be sure to maximize your browser window before you start.

If you need more time, you can exit the survey and continue it later by pressing the "Save and Exit" button above. You can return to this page by clicking the same link that got you here.

As a token of our appreciation, we will send a $100 gift certificate for Amazon.com to three people who complete the survey and enter our sweepstakes. If you'd like to be entered in the sweepstakes drawing, be sure to let us know at the end of the survey (see our Sweepstakes Rules). Your contact information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your prior permission (see our Privacy Policy).

Thanks!
