Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.
Using emotionally positive or inspiring language to create a favorable impression without providing proportional evidence.
“महिला डिजिटल सशक्तीकरणका लागि फागुन ३० मा स्टार क्रिकेट प्रतियोगिता हुने भएको छ ।” “प्रतियोगिताबाट ग्रामीण नेपालका महिला सूचना प्रविधिमा शिक्षित, सशक्तीकरण र प्रोत्साहित हुने आशा गरिएको छ ।” These lines frame the event as significantly empowering rural women in digital literacy and empowerment, but no concrete mechanism, program details, scale, or evidence is provided.
Specify concrete mechanisms: e.g., “प्रतियोगिताबाट संकलित रकमबाट ग्रामीण महिलाका लागि ६ महिनाको डिजिटल साक्षरता तालिम सञ्चालन गरिनेछ, जसमा करिब २०० महिलाले सहभागिता जनाउने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ।”
Qualify the claims more cautiously: e.g., “महिला डिजिटल सशक्तीकरणबारे जनचेतना बढाउने उद्देश्यले…” instead of implying strong empowerment outcomes without detail.
Add data or prior results if available: e.g., “पहिलो संस्करणबाट ५० महिलाले आधारभूत कम्प्युटर तालिम लिएका थिए, यसपटक १०० सम्म पुर्याउने लक्ष्य छ।”
Presenting expected positive outcomes as likely or implied facts without supporting data or clear causal explanation.
“दोस्रो संस्करणले क्रिकेटको माध्यमबाट चलचित्र क्षेत्रका कलाकार, खेलाडी, मिडिया व्यक्तित्व, कर्पोरेट तथा डिजिटल क्रिएटरहरू सबै एउटै मैदानमा उत्रिएर क्रिकेटलाई अगाडि बढाउन प्रोत्साहन हुनुका साथै पर्यटन प्रवर्द्धनमा टेवा पुग्ने विश्वास छ ।” The article relays the organizer’s belief that the event will promote cricket and tourism, but offers no evidence, scale, or prior examples.
Attribute clearly as opinion and belief: e.g., “जोशीको दाबी छ कि…” or “आयोजकको विश्वास अनुसार…” and keep it clearly in the realm of expectation, not implied fact.
Add supporting context: e.g., “पहिलो संस्करणमा करिब ५ हजार दर्शक उपस्थित भएका थिए र सोही अवधिमा स्थानीय होटल बुकिङ १५ प्रतिशतले बढेको आयोजकको दाबी छ।”
Clarify uncertainty: e.g., “पर्यटन प्रवर्द्धनमा कति टेवा पुग्छ भन्ने यकिन नभए पनि आयोजकले यसलाई सम्भावित अवसरका रूपमा लिएका छन्।”
Using positive, promotional wording that implicitly endorses the event rather than neutrally describing it.
“पहिलो संस्करण भव्य सफल भएपछि दोस्रो संस्करण गर्न तयार भएको बताए ।” “‘पहिलो संस्करण भव्यरुपमा सफल भएपछि दोस्रो संस्करण गर्न तयार भएका हौं,’ उनले भने…” The term “भव्य सफल” (grand success) is promotional and not supported by neutral metrics (attendance, funds raised, impact).
Replace promotional adjectives with neutral description or data: e.g., “पहिलो संस्करणमा करिब X दर्शक सहभागी भए र Y रकम संकलन भयो, त्यसपछि दोस्रो संस्करण गर्न तयार भएका हौं।”
Clearly attribute evaluative terms as the speaker’s characterization: e.g., “जोशीका अनुसार, पहिलो संस्करण ‘भव्यरुपमा सफल’ भएको थियो…”
If no data is available, tone down the language: e.g., “पहिलो संस्करण सकारात्मक प्रतिक्रिया पाएपछि…” instead of “भव्य सफल”.
Presenting a complex social goal as being straightforwardly achieved by a single event, without acknowledging limitations or necessary additional efforts.
“महिला डिजिटल सशक्तीकरणका लागि फागुन ३० मा स्टार क्रिकेट प्रतियोगिता हुने भएको छ ।” “प्रतियोगिताबाट ग्रामीण नेपालका महिला सूचना प्रविधिमा शिक्षित, सशक्तीकरण र प्रोत्साहित हुने आशा गरिएको छ ।” These lines suggest that a one-day cricket event will significantly contribute to digital empowerment and education of rural women, which is a complex, long-term process.
Clarify the limited role of the event: e.g., “महिला डिजिटल सशक्तीकरणका कार्यक्रमका लागि कोष संकलन गर्ने उद्देश्यले…” or “डिजिटल सशक्तीकरणबारे जागरूकता बढाउने उद्देश्यले…”
Mention that this is one component among many: e.g., “यो प्रतियोगिता सृष्टि फाउन्डेसनले सञ्चालन गर्ने दीर्घकालीन डिजिटल सशक्तीकरण कार्यक्रमको एक अंश हो।”
Add context on what additional steps are needed beyond the event: e.g., “प्रतियोगिताबाट संकलित रकमले तालिमको केही लागत मात्र धान्नेछ, बाँकी सहयोग अन्य स्रोतबाट जुटाइनेछ।”
Relying solely on organizers and affiliated parties without any independent or critical perspective, even in a soft news piece.
The article quotes only organizers (पवनराज जोशी) and mentions partner organization (सृष्टि फाउन्डेसन) and a former national football captain as a participant. There is no independent comment (e.g., from past participants, beneficiaries, or neutral observers) to contextualize claims about success, tourism promotion, or women’s empowerment.
Include at least one independent voice: e.g., a past participant, a local tourism official, or a beneficiary woman commenting on actual impact of the first edition.
Provide basic verification or context: e.g., “पहिलो संस्करणमा सहभागी एक खेलाडीले भने…” or “स्थानीय होटल व्यवसायीहरूका अनुसार, सो दिनको भीड सामान्य दिनभन्दा कति फरक थियो भन्नेबारे मिश्रित प्रतिक्रिया देखियो।”
Explicitly frame the article as reporting organizers’ announcements: e.g., “आयोजकको दाबी अनुसार…” to signal that these are not independently verified conclusions.
- This is an EXPERIMENTAL DEMO version that is not intended to be used for any other purpose than to showcase the technology's potential. We are in the process of developing more sophisticated algorithms to significantly enhance the reliability and consistency of evaluations. Nevertheless, even in its current state, HonestyMeter frequently offers valuable insights that are challenging for humans to detect.
