Review crawler access and look for article dates, bylines, corrections and source links. [How websites are scored](https://goodforbots.com/standards#scoring) Search by name or domain: https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/news-media.md?q={query}, at most 120 characters. 0 sites. Sorted by best score first. Also: [worst score first](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/news-media.md?sort=score-asc) · [site name, A–Z](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/news-media.md?sort=host). No sites match these filters. “(Pro)” marks a Pro listing. Pro never changes a score or a place in the order. [What Pro includes](https://goodforbots.com/pricing#pro). Every report is also available as Markdown at https://goodforbots.com/r/{host}.md. ## Categories - [All sites](https://goodforbots.com/directory.md): 117 sites - Software & Tools - [Developer Tools & APIs](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md): 24 sites - [SaaS & Web Apps](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/saas.md): 34 sites - [AI Products & Agents](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/ai-products.md): 20 sites - Content & Knowledge - [Blogs & Newsletters](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/blogs.md): 2 sites - News & Media: 0 sites (this page) - [Education & Learning](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/education.md): 7 sites - [Research & Reference](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/research-reference.md): 5 sites - [Directories & Aggregators](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/directories.md): 11 sites - Commerce & Services - [E-commerce Stores](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/ecommerce.md): 1 site - [Marketplaces & Booking](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/marketplaces.md): 1 site - [Local Businesses & Services](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/local-business.md): 1 site - Organizations & People - [Companies & Agencies](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/companies.md): 3 sites - [Communities & Forums](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/communities.md): 1 site - Misc - [Other](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/other.md): 1 site ## Platforms Match any selected platform. Counts show sites using each one. - Astro: 0 sites - Lovable: 0 sites - Next.js: 0 sites - Nuxt: 0 sites - SvelteKit: 0 sites - WordPress: 0 sites ## Signals Each one you pick narrows the list: a site must have them all. ### Agent capabilities - API catalog: 0 sites. Lists the site's public APIs in one standard place, so an agent can find and use them without reading the docs. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - auth.md: 0 sites. A simple file that tells AI agents how to sign in and get access. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - A2A agent card: 0 sites. Describes the site's own AI agent in the A2A format, so other agents can find it and hand it work. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - Agent Skills index: 0 sites. Lists reusable instructions the site publishes for AI agents, with descriptions and download locations. The index earns a badge; the skill downloads themselves are not verified. - Web Bot Auth: 0 sites. Publishes the keys the site's own bots sign their requests with, so other websites can verify them. The badge checks the keys; the bots' requests are not observed. - ACP commerce: 0 sites. Publishes how agents can connect to its Agentic Commerce Protocol integration. The badge confirms discovery metadata; purchases are not tested. ### Standards - llms.txt: 0 sites. A short guide to the site written for AI models: what it is and which pages matter most. - robots.txt: 0 sites. The file that tells crawlers where they may go. Every other rule a site gives to bots starts here. - Sitemap: 0 sites. A list of the site's pages, so a bot sees everything that exists instead of guessing from links. - Descriptive llms.txt: 0 sites. The llms.txt describes what is behind each link, so a model knows which pages are worth reading. - llms-full.txt or .md pages: 0 sites. The content is also available as plain Markdown, in one llms-full.txt file or as separate .md pages. Models can read it without the HTML. - Markdown negotiation: 0 sites. Pages come back as clean Markdown when a bot asks for it: just the content, without menus, styling and scripts. - AI crawler rules: 0 sites. The site says which AI bots may visit, for training, search or answering questions. Blocking some is fine; what counts is making a choice. - Content Signals: 0 sites. The site says how its content may be used: for search, in AI answers or to train AI. Any mix of yes and no counts. - schema.org JSON-LD: 0 sites. Structured data on the homepage says what the site is, such as a company, a product or an article, so machines don't have to guess. - Semantic HTML: 0 sites. The page has a clear structure: a main content area, headings in order, a header and a footer. A bot can tell the content from the rest. - Crawlable navigation: 0 sites. Observed homepage navigation exposes usable page addresses and section targets in HTML. Destinations are not fetched by this check. - Named links and buttons: 0 sites. Links and buttons in the collected homepage HTML have names recoverable from text, labels or native alternatives, including icon controls. - Named form fields: 0 sites. Observed homepage fields have recoverable names and recognizable input semantics. Submission behavior is not tested. - Control roles and states: 0 sites. Homepage controls meet static checks for roles, required states and relationship targets, using native HTML semantics where available. - Typed links: 0 sites. The page links to versions made for machines, such as a Markdown copy or an API description, so an agent can go straight to them. - Canonical URL: 0 sites. Each page names the one address that should be indexed and cited, so an agent quoting it links to the right URL. - Working section links: 0 sites. Links to part of a page, such as a table of contents or a skip link, lead to that section instead of the top of the page. ## About News & Media News loses meaning when its date disappears. A report about a proposal can be mistaken for an account of a law already in force, and a developing story can outlive the facts it first described. A machine-readable news page needs to preserve the context around the headline as well as the words underneath it. Look for distinct article URLs, visible bylines and a clear separation between publication time and later updates. Corrections, source links and labels for opinion or sponsored work help a reader understand what kind of material they have found. These are editorial qualities to inspect, not promises made by a score. Access rules can differ between a newsroom’s homepage and its archive. Check the article you intend to use, including its sources and corrections; our scanner does not fact-check reporting. ## What to look for Use these questions when reading the sites themselves. They are guidance for this category, not additional scoring checks. ### Time that survives extraction Publication and update dates should be attached to the story. A date in the site header is not enough to establish when the reported event happened. ### Reporting distinguished from opinion Visible labels and author information help readers interpret a page. The same sentence carries different weight in a reported article and an opinion column. ### Corrections with a trail An accessible correction note helps prevent an earlier version from circulating without context. Check the current article before repeating a claim. ### Article-level access Inspect the actual story, including any paywall boundary. An accessible front page does not prove that its linked reporting is readable. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the score a measure of news credibility? No. Machine readability and editorial credibility are different. The report does not verify a publication's reporting or endorse its conclusions. ### Can a publisher restrict training and still be listed? Yes. Our rubric distinguishes training crawlers from search and user-fetch crawlers. A training opt-out alone is not a visibility penalty; refusing our own bot ends its scan without a score. ### Do you bypass subscriptions to inspect stories? No. The scanner uses its declared identity, respects robots.txt and does not sign in or bypass a subscription to read restricted articles.
