I have recommended the Ad Fontas media bias chart before, but with the election nearing I thought it worth a repeat. The chart has panels of individuals rate attributes of individual articles from a news source on multiple dimensions and then uses an algorithm to position the source on a multidimensional graph based on these rankings (Method).
A recent version of the chart is interactive allowing you to request information about specific publications. I tried the Minneapolis Star Tribune (my local paper) and it was not included. So, I am unclear on how the sources covered were selected.
As an educational resource, this chart is interesting to explore and the methodology would be a good starting point for questions about the value of the press.
