Other categories did not have enough data to significantly identify bias. Of course those findings don t say which of the two sources is correct in its viewpoint—only how they compare to one another.
We can only say that Wikipedia is more left says Zhu. We can t say which is reflecting true reality. What s more much of Wikipedia s bias seems to be due to the longer article length of the online publication where word count is less of an issue than the historically printed Britannica. When compared word to word most though not all of Wikipedia s left leaning proclivities come out in the wash. In other words for articles of the same length Wikipedia is as middle of the road as Britannica.
