Why I Built It

To make media bias visible and measurable. I wanted to see if there are trends in what emotions are portrayed in headlines from different outlets—whether some lean toward fear, anger, or optimism when covering the same stories.

By making sentiment data transparent and accessible, I hope to foster better media literacy and help people understand how news is framed.

About the Developer

I'm Luke Garceau—an independent developer who loves building tools that reveal hidden patterns. I created Watch Your Tone to explore how different news outlets use emotion in their headlines and whether those patterns reveal deeper biases.
