Good information nourishes democracy; bad information poisons it. The mission of the Shorenstein Center is to support and protect the information ecosystem. This means promoting access to reliable information through our work with journalists, policymakers, civil society, and scholars, while also slowing the spread of bad information, from hate speech to “fake news” to all kinds of distortion and media manipulation. The public square has always had to contend with liars, propagandists, dividers, and demagogues. But the tools for creating toxic information are more powerful and widely available than ever before, and the effects more dangerous. How our generation responds to threats we did not foresee, fueled by technologies we have not contained, is the central challenge of our age.

Newsguard? Newsguard Uses Journalism to Fight False News, Misinformation, and Disinformation
A News Literacy Tool Guide for Educators and Librarians What is NewsGuard? NewsGuard uses journalism to fight false news, misinformation, and disinformation. Its team of experienced journalists review news and information websites to help readers know which websites they can generally trust—and which they should not. Why is NewsGuard relevant? Media literacy has never been more important. As consumption of the news continues to shift online, it’s harder to understand what information can generally be trusted. Distrust in the media is rising, and only a third of Americans have a positive view of the news media, according to a 2017 Knight/Gallup survey. NewsGuard helps address that, by equipping people with a tool to better understand the information they consume online. How do you access NewsGuard’s reviews? NewsGuard offers a free browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. After installing the extension, NewsGuard’s red and green badges will appear next to headlines in social media feeds and search results. Hovering over the badge reveals a short description of the website and a link to access the full “Nutrition Label” review of the site. How does NewsGuard review websites? Each website is rated using nine standards of credibility and transparency. Each rating is accompanied by a Nutrition Label that explains a site’s rating and discusses its ownership and financing, content, credibility, transparency, and history. Who should use this guide? • A grade 8-12 or university-level educator teaching civics, writing, or journalism • A librarian looking to engage patrons with the NewsGuard plugin What are the outcomes? This guide meets the Common Core anchor standards for language arts and social studies, and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for technology use. -
Newsguard—Written Evidence (FOJ0084)
NewsGuard—written evidence (FOJ0084) Response to the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee’s Inquiry into Future of Journalism About NewsGuard NewsGuard, launched in August 2018 by media entrepreneur and journalist Steven Brill and former Wall Street Journal publisher Gordon Crovitz, produces credibility ratings and detailed “Nutrition Labels” for the thousands of news and information websites that account for 95% of online engagement across the U.K, U.S., Germany, France and Italy. NewsGuard employs journalists to rate each site based on nine apolitical criteria of journalistic practice, including whether a site repeatedly publishes false content, whether it regularly corrects or clarifies errors, whether it discloses its financing, and whether it avoids deceptive headlines. Based on weighted scoring of the criteria, each site receives a trust score of 0-100 and an overall rating of “Green,” indicating the site is generally reliable, or “Red,” indicating that it is not reliable. With NewsGuard’s browser extension installed, red and green ratings of the general reliability of news sources show up in social media and search engine feeds (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.), next to links to sources. When users hover over the green or red icons, they can begin to read the NewsGuard Nutrition Label explaining the site’s editorial practices and background and why it got the rating that it received. By giving people access to these source credibility ratings at the first point at which they encounter an article, NewsGuard uses a transparent "pre-bunking" approach to help empower users to make informed choices about their news and information sources as they navigate their social media feeds and search results. -
