The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for recognizing a low-quality news resource, a computer device and a readable medium. The method comprises: obtaining information of a to-be-recognized news resource; determining whether the to-be-recognized new resource is a low-quality news resource, according to a pre-built low-quality news information repository and the information of the to-be-recognized news resource. The technical solutions of the present disclosure may be employed to automatically recognize whether the to-be-recognized news resource is the low-quality resource through the information of the to-be-recognized news resource such as the text information and/or pictures, and can overcome technical problems in the prior art such as time-consuming and arduous manual-check manner and a low recognition efficiency due to leakage in checking. Through the above technical solutions, present embodiments may achieve automatic check of the to-be-recognized news resource and thereby substantially shorten the time spent in recognizing the low-quality news resource.
