How loaded the writing isLanguage Load Language Load is one number from 0 to 100 for how loaded a report’s writing is. Lower is plainer. 0 is a plain report, the facts said plainly; 100 is loaded throughout. It reads the writing, not the events, so a plain report of a sad story can still score low. Most reports are written fairly plainly and score under 20; the differences are in the loaded words, the drama and the claims nobody puts their name to.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
