Therefore, it is crucial to have tools that expose these editorial choices underlying media bias. In this paper, we introduce the Media Bias Detector, a tool for researchers, journalists, and news consumers. By integrating large language models, we provide near real-time granular insights into the topics, tone, political lean, and facts of news articles aggregated to the publisher level. We assessed the tool’s impact by interviewing 13 experts from journalism, communications, and political science, revealing key insights into usability and functionality, practical applications, and AI’s role in powering media bias tools. We explored this in more depth with a follow-up survey of 150 news consumers. This work highlights opportunities for AI-driven tools that empower users to critically engage with media content, particularly in politically charged environments.  \nCCS Concepts  \n• Human-centered computing → User studies; Empirical studies in HCI; • Information systems → Web applications.  \nKeywords  \nmedia bias, news analysis, large language models (LLMs), LLMdriven tools  \nACM Reference Format:  \nJenny SWang, Samar Haider, Amir Tohidi, Anushkaa Gupta, Yuxuan Zhang, Chris Callison-Burch, David Rothschild, and Duncan J Watts. 2025.
