How the media covers the NJ-11 race

Every outlet has a lean. This tracks the political balance of the coverage of each candidate in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, the way Ground News does for national stories.

Outlet lean is based on the published ratings of AllSides and Media Bias/Fact Check. Ratings describe the outlet, not any single article, and are approximate. News aggregators and social platforms carry no editorial lean and are not counted in the meter. Window: last 150 days.
