Company Created Tool To Identify Trusted News Sources

The video discusses Media Literacy Week and introduces NewsGuard, a tool that rates the reliability of news sources using journalistic criteria. NewsGuard employs trained journalists to evaluate websites and provides 'nutrition labels' to explain ratings. The tool is available as a browser extension, showing ratings in search results and social media feeds. A green rating indicates a reliable source, while a red rating suggests unreliability. NewsGuard is used by libraries and schools, with positive feedback from educators. The video also highlights the rapid spread of misinformation, especially in health topics.
