Two measurements that answer the question traditional media can't:
How well does the world actually understand itself?
Perception Gap Index
Today's Global Perception Gap
6.5
High — significant framing gaps across regions
↓ -0.6 from yesterday
The PGI measures how differently the same events are reported across 7 world regions. 1 = global consensus. 10 = opposing realities.

The PGI measures how differently 7 world regions frame the same story. A trade deal, a protest, a natural disaster — every region reports it, but the emphasis, blame, emotion, and facts they highlight can be radically different. The PGI quantifies that gap on a 1–10 scale, updated 3× daily.
Similar Lenses
Regions broadly agree on framing and facts.
Different Lenses
Noticeable divergence in emphasis or blame.
Fractured Reality
Regions are telling fundamentally different stories.
Based on Entman's framing theory — each dimension scored independently across regions
Factual Divergence
Do regions agree on the basic facts?
Causal Attribution
Who or what do they blame?
Framing & Emphasis
What aspect gets the spotlight?
Emotional Valence
Outrage, sympathy, indifference?
Actor Portrayal
Hero, villain, or invisible?
Cui Bono
Whose interests does the framing serve?
Global Awareness Index
The GAI measures information absence — stories that are covered in some regions but completely invisible in others. This is what makes Albis unique: nobody else systematically measures what's missing from your news diet. A high GAI means billions of people will never know this story happened.
Why this matters
Media bias research focuses on how stories are covered. Almost nobody asks whether they're covered at all. The GAI fills that gap. If 5 billion people in Asia never see a story that dominates European headlines, that's not bias — it's a blind spot. And blind spots shape geopolitics.
Before you disagree about a story, you have to see it. The Albis indexes measure two fundamental links in the chain.

PGI and GAI — when lines diverge, information fails differently
When lines diverge, information fails differently. High PGI + low GAI means the world sees the story but disagrees about what it means. High GAI + low PGI means the few who see it agree — but most of the world is blind to it entirely.
Where today's stories sit across both indexes
High Perception Gap, Low Attention Gap
Everyone sees it. Nobody agrees.
No stories in this quadrant today
High Perception Gap, High Attention Gap
Invisible AND distorted. The danger zone.

Low Perception Gap, Low Attention Gap
Global consensus. Rare.
No stories in this quadrant today
Low Perception Gap, High Attention Gap
Where covered, people agree. But most don't see it.

The Albis indexes are open data. We scan 100+ sources across 7 world regions, 3 times daily. Every score is derived from automated comparative analysis using structured AI evaluation. If you're writing about media bias, information ecosystems, or global news coverage — these indexes provide quantifiable, daily evidence.
