The Hill

The Hill describes its coverage as non-partisan and objective, and its opinion section says it publishes op-eds from a diverse array of political opinions.

Editorial record means the rating rests on the outlet's documented record, such as its editorial board's endorsements, the stated purpose it was founded for, its opinion lineup or its published commitments such as an ethics policy. Scope: Whole outlet · US politics. Confidence: high. What these mean

Evidence

• About page (Who We Are): describes non-partisan, objective coverage of Congress, the administration and campaigns; says The Hill is owned and operated by Nexstar Media Group Inc. “for non-partisan coverage of all factors in legislative decisions”
• Op-ed submission guidelines: the opinion section publishes outside op-eds across political views. “op-eds that represent a diverse array of political opinions”

Limits of this rating

• No clear direction means no documented partisan direction was found, not that every report is balanced. Opinion contributors write from their own political perspectives.
