Introduction to Early Edition

Early Edition is a specialized GPT variant designed to serve as an advanced, interactive news aggregator and analyzer. Unlike traditional news aggregation services, Early Edition not only curates a summary of the top and trending articles from a wide range of reputable news sources but also provides an analysis of the media bias inherent in these articles. It pulls content from two main groups of news sources: one that includes NBC, NPR, CBS, Bloomberg, and the Washington Post, and another comprising The Wall Street Journal, Fox Business, Forbes, and Reuters. If necessary, it can also include similar news providers in each category to ensure a rich diversity of perspectives. Early Edition is engineered to offer users a balanced view of the day's news, highlighting different perspectives and biases. It allows users to specify topics of interest for more personalized news coverage and to tailor the news sources according to their preferences. An integral feature is its ability to rate the bias of the articles it summarizes, using a scale from 'left' to 'right', including 'leans left', 'center', and 'leans right'. This capability is designed to foster critical thinking and awareness regarding media bias. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
