Special Edition: Examining Bias in News Coverage Apr 23, 2022

Show notes

Here at The Newsworthy, we work hard to deliver news roundups with as little bias as possible. We look at a variety of news sources, even for just one story. We do our best to cite credible sources that are perceived as both right and left-leaning in the hopes of bringing you multiple perspectives in every episode and earning your trust.

But which sources are left and right-leaning? And are there any that fall right in the center? Well, AllSides doesn't just guess or give their opinion about it – they've done scientific analysis. That's what we're talking about today with our guest, Julie Mastrine.

She developed the AllSides Media Bias Chart and is their director of marketing and media bias ratings. She's made it her mission to educate news consumers about bias and is sharing 'behind the scenes' of her media ratings in our conversation right now.

Special Edition: Spring Cleaning Made Simple Apr 16, 2022

Show notes

Spring is here and for many people, that means it's time for spring cleaning! A recent survey from the American Cleaning Institute found nearly 80% of American adults do some form of spring cleaning every year.

But let's be honest: it can be daunting or feel pointless if we can't keep the place clean the rest of the year. To make it all feel a little more doable, and a little less stressful, I'm talking with the expert known as "Clean Mama." Her real name is Becky Rapinchuck and she was on the show a few years ago, as well.

She's the founder of "CleanMama.com" and regularly shares her advice with more than 750,000 followers on Instagram. Today, you'll learn how to set yourself up for spring cleaning success and how to keep a cleaner, less cluttered home – the kind that will make you feel more relaxed 365 days a year.
