NEWSQ SEEKS TO ELEVATE QUALITY JOURNALISM WHERE ALGORITHMS RANK AND RECOMMEND NEWS ARTICLES ONLINE. WE APPROACH THIS PROBLEM BY ENGAGING IN DESIGN THINKING ACTIVITIES IN COLLABORATION WITH TECHNOLOGY, JOURNALISM, ACADEMIA AND OTHER COMMUNITIES. THROUGH OUR PARTICIPATORY APPROACH, WE HOPE TO PROMOTE CONSTRUCTIVE STEPS TOWARDS SOLUTIONS THAT DRIVE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TOWARDS QUALITY NEWS AND AWAY FROM DISINFORMATION AND MISINFORMATION. THIS PAST YEAR, WE WORKED WITH A COHORT OF 16 JOURNALISTS AND PLATFORM TECHNOLOGISTS TO PRODUCE TWO WHITEPAPERS ON THE TOPIC OF NEWS RANKING ALGORITHMS. THIS WORK WAS REPORTED IN TWO PRESENTATION VENUES AMONG 1) JOURNALISTS (AT LAST YEAR'S ISOJ EVENT WITH 5,000 ATTENDEES) AND 2) 40 MEDIA INTEGRITY AND AI EXPERTS. PANEL RELATED RESULTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN AN ACADEMIC JOURNAL IN 2022. IN ADDITION, WE SUPPORTED CLOSED DOOR DISCUSSIONS ON CRITICAL TOPICS OF LOCAL JOURNALISM AND VACCINE REPORTING IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NIEMAN FOUNDATION FOR JOURNALISM AT HARVARD, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S VACCINE SAFETY NET, THE SCILINE PROGRAM AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, AND MUCKROCK FOUNDATION. 139951 0 0 REALITY TEAM - REALITY TEAM USES WIDELY AVAILABLE TOOLS TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR DISINFORMATION TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE. IN 2021, WE REACHED NEARLY 3 MILLION HEAVY SOCIAL MEDIA USERS WHO RARELY SEE NEWS OR OTHER CREDIBLE INFORMATION. OUR CAMPAIGNS COVERED ELECTION INTEGRITY, COVID/VACCINES AND CLIMATE CHANGE. CAMPAIGN METRICS SHOW VERY STRONG INTEREST IN THE CONTENT. WE WORKED WITH ACADEMICS FROM THE YALE CENTER FOR CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS TO DEVELOP A METHOD TO RUN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TESTS ENTIRELY ON INSTAGRAM, AND FOUND 30-40% BOOST IN FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE 1-3 DAYS POST EXPOSURE TO CLIMATE AND VACCINE INFORMATION AND 17-32% SHIFT IN OPINIONS 7-18 DAYS POST EXPOSURE. EARLY RESULTS ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE CAN DRIVE AN AUDIENCE WITH LOW VOTER PARTICIPATION TO REGISTER TO VOTE. OUR CAMPAIGNS AIM TO SHARE CREDIBLE INFO IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM FEEL SMART AND CONFIDENT, AND EQUIPS THEM TO GET BETTER AT IDENTIFYING AND RESISTING MANIPULATIVE CONTENT. 67269 0 9865 TRUTH AND TRUST ONLINE - THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON TRUTH AND TRUST ONLINE (TTO) BRINGS TOGETHER ALL PARTIES WORKING ON AUTOMATED APPROACHES TO AUGMENT MANUAL EFFORTS ON IMPROVING THE TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUSTWORTHINESS OF ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS.
