About

The name is the method.

"Tag" (as in tag, index, flag) + "Tally" (count, compare, surface the gap). Tagtaly is a daily read on how British and American media see the same world differently.

Billionaire Elon Musk has already funneled at least $366 million into the midterms to try to make sure voters elect Republicans.

The problem

Every day, dozens of stories appear on both sides of the Atlantic -- the same Trump speech, the same NHS announcement, the same market move, the same war. But the way British and American outlets cover those stories diverges, sometimes sharply. Different headlines. Different framing. Different things emphasised, different things left out. Most readers feel this. Few people measure it.

The product

Tagtaly collects 500+ articles daily from UK and US news sources. It classifies them by topic, analyses sentiment, detects stories that travelled the Atlantic, and surfaces the gaps in a dashboard that updates daily. No newsroom theatre. No claims without links to prove it.
