What a "Center" Rating Means

Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Center either do not show much predictable media bias, display a balance of articles with left and right biases, or equally balance left and right perspectives.

Center doesn't mean better! A Center media bias rating does not necessarily mean a source is totally unbiased, neutral, perfectly reasonable, or credible, just as Left and Right don't necessarily mean extreme, wrong, unreasonable, or not credible. AllSides encourages people to read outlets across the political spectrum.

Palladium Magazine Center Rating Confirmed in Dec. 2023 Independent Review

A December 2023 independent review by an AllSides reviewer confirmed Palladium Magazine's Center bias rating. 

The reviewer found a strong focus on the topic of artificial intelligence, and noted that Palladium's content does not fall neatly into mainstream left/right, liberal/conservative political binaries, with story choices centering on the future of governance and civilization more broadly, rather than typical political discourses. Palladium Magazine contains mostly thinkpieces, rather than hard news.

Palladium's Winter 2023 edition, which featured singer/songwriter Grimes stated on the topic of AI:

Recent Silicon Valley advances in artificial intelligence have brought new weight to decades-old discussions. Many technologists and experts believe we are just a couple years away from a runaway intelligence explosion that overpowers and even, maybe, annihilates mankind. Others believe thinking machines will help usher in a new golden age of economic growth, scientific progress, and political resolution. Only time will tell. Until then, we have asked some of our brightest and most visionary minds to tell us what exactly they see on the silicon horizon.

Palladium continues, "the questions raised by AI are about the metaphysical nature of humanity, what it is possible to know, and our cosmic destiny."

Palladium Rated Center in April 2023 Independent Review

An April 2023 independent review by an AllSides editor resulted in a Center rating for Palladium.

The reviewer found Palladium did not show bias toward any political party or group. The magazine mostly consists of analysis articles. Topics may be more of interest to the center-right; story choices included articles on fertility collapse, midcentury urban design, electric vehicle transitions, and farm antibiotics. Overall, story choice was varied and perspectives did not strictly adhere to the left nor right.
