About The Narrative Gap

The Narrative Gap helps you understand what's happening in the world by cutting through the noise of competing media narratives. We analyse hundreds of news sources across multiple regions and languages to show you where the evidence points — and where it doesn't.

Why "The Narrative Gap"?

Every news story is told differently depending on who tells it. The gap between narratives — what one source emphasises and another ignores — is often where the most important truths hide. We make that gap visible.

How it works

What you get

• Multi-perspective coverage — see how the same event looks from different media ecosystems
• Evidence-based confidence — know which claims are well-supported and which rest on thin evidence
• Competing explanations — for contested situations, see all the plausible interpretations side by side
• Source balance — know when coverage is dominated by one region or perspective
• Updated twice daily — analysis refreshed as new information arrives

What this is not

• Not news — we analyse evidence, we don't break stories
• Evidence-based, not speculative — our assessments reflect the weight of reported evidence, not opinion or guesswork. When we say something is "likely", that means multiple independent sources point in that direction — not that we have inside knowledge
• Not editorial — we present the evidence landscape without taking sides

Who we are

The Narrative Gap is an independent project built by a small team passionate about making sense of complex global events. We believe everyone deserves access to evidence-based analysis, not just those with intelligence agency budgets.

This project is donation-supported — no ads, no paywalls, no corporate sponsors. Support us if you find this useful.

All analysis is advisory. Confidence assessments are preliminary estimates based on available evidence and should not be treated as ground truth.
