Hi all, Just came across this browser extension and thought it would be useful to flag up - https://www.newsguardtech.com/ Even more exciting there is a "for libraries" section. An extract: Librarians have long been champions of news literacy. By providing the free NewsGuard browser on library computers, librarians help patrons become better informed about the sources of news they encounter online. Librarians share this "Who's Feeding You the News?" information sheet about NewsGuard with their patrons https://www.newsguardtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NewsGuard_LibraryHandout_Color.pdf . In addition to being able to being able to use the NewsGuard browser plug-in while accessing the internet while at the library, patrons can download the NewsGuard plug-in for free on their own desktop or laptop computer. I'd be interested to hear any reactions! I just tried it and it showed the DailyMail website "generally fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability". So I'm guessing it works ok...
