  • Summary

  • One of the most significant challenges facing Americans is misinformation and the systems by which it spreads and is amplified. Amid the debate around censorship and deplatforming has emerged a new approach - human-curated ratings and detailed "nutrition labels" to help empower people with gauging the trustworthiness of websites and news services.

    On this episode of “TechEnabled,” John Bailey is joined by  two of America’s most respected journalists and authors Gordon Crovitz and Steven Brill who co-founded NewsGuard, a company which has developed a series of tools and services to help users find credible news and information online, while alerting them to untrustworthy sources they may see in their Facebook or Twitter feeds or in search results .In this episode, they discuss the nature of misinformation, how it spreads, and how more transparency and better information can help counter it.
