 # Evaluation Benchmark for Sentence-Level Factuality Prediciton in Portuguese
+ 
+The FactNews consits of the first large sentence-level annotated corpus for factuality prediciton in Portuguese. 
+It is composed of 6,191 sentences annotated according to factuality and media bias definitions proposed by AllSides. We use FactNews to assess the overall reliability of news sources by formulating 
+two text classification problems for predicting sentence-level factuality of news reporting and bias of media outlets. 
+Our experiments demonstrate that biased sentences present a higher number of words compared to factual sentences, 
+besides having a predominance of emotions. Hence, the fine-grained analysis of subjectivity and impartiality of news articles 
+showed promising results for predicting the reliability of entire media outlets.
