Welcome to Reality Check, your inside look at how misinformation online is undermining trust — and who’s behind it. “The burden now falls on you to find sources of information you trust for reliable truth. That means better scrutinizing not only the publications you choose, but the individuals you follow on social media. That’s a lot to ask — but it’s the new necessity.” — Mike Allen, Axios, Jan. 8, 2025Providing that information is the mission of NewsGuard and Reality Check.
