The Signal 500: a hand-scored catalogue of 495 news and blog sources
Snapshot generated 2026-08-30 by FeedsBar. The live, always-current version of this catalogue is at feeds.bar/signal-500 and the method is published at feeds.bar/signal-500/method.
This is a mirror of the Zenodo deposit, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22311918 (concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22311917 always resolves to the latest version).
What is in this dataset
signal-500.csv: one row per source. Name, domain, feed URL, pillar (topic), region, the overall Signal score (rank_score, 0 to 100), whether the source is in the Signal 100, the eight dimension scores (0 to 10 each: editorial, ad restraint, reach, signal-to-noise, access, cadence, aesthetic, independence), and the raw measurements behind the measured dimensions (ad entities and third parties counted in a real browser with the cookie banner accepted, cumulative layout shift, interstitial percentage, Tranco reach rank, and when the capture ran).opml-packs.zip:opml/signal-500.opmlis the full catalogue as an OPML subscription list, importable into any feed reader, plus 13 per-pillar OPML packs (Breaking News, World & Politics, Business & Money, Tech & AI, Makers, Science & Environment, Health & Wellbeing, Ideas & Longform, Culture & Arts, Style & Beauty, Home & Living, Food & Travel, Sports). The full pack also carries the newer Zeitgeist, Mac and Creators & Culture pillars.
Method, in brief
Every source was loaded in a real browser with the cookie banner accepted. Ad entities and third parties were counted, layout shift and reach were measured. Editorial quality, signal-to-noise, cadence, aesthetic and independence are judgement scores with published weights. The full method, the weights, and which dimensions are measured versus judged: https://feeds.bar/signal-500/method
