Public Editor (a project of Goodly Labs and the Berkeley Institute for Data Science)
With a transparent & non-partisan process, we’re engaging thoughtful citizens in a massive effort to clean up the news. We started by pulling together centuries of knowledge about how people mislead each other, intentionally or not. Then we paired that with new collaborative technology that guides people to carefully find and label the faulty reasoning that can lead us astray. Soon, thanks to our browser extensions and teams of social media ambassadors, we’ll all be sharing reality again.
