The News Literacy Project (NLP), a nonpartisan education nonprofit, is building a national movement to advance the practice of news literacy throughout American society, creating better informed, more engaged and more empowered individuals — and ultimately a stronger democracy.
NLP created RumorGuard to help us all learn how to recognize misinformation and stop it in its tracks. Each fact-checked viral rumor contains concrete tips to help you build your news literacy foundation and confidently evaluate claims you see online.
Misinformation and the lack of news literacy have created an existential threat to our democracy. As a result, there is an urgent need for news literacy for people of all ages.
A free and independent press and the ability to determine whether information is credible are necessary for the future of a healthy democracy. News literacy teaches about the importance of a free press in our democracy, including how to recognize and demand standards-based journalism, which builds an appreciation for quality journalism. Relying on the standards of fact-based journalism as an aspirational yardstick is the best way to measure the credibility of news and other information.
Misinformation affects everything in our daily lives — from our health care, to our finances, to our personal values. And if we can’t agree on a set of basic facts, then we can’t make well-informed decisions about our lives and our governance.
Clear-eyed. Uncompromising. The Index investigates how technology reshapes power and society. Founded in 2025, The Index speaks truth to power in a digital age. Through tenacious reporting, provocative commentary, and spirited debate about technology and society, The Index empowers readers to fight for justice and equality in an era of unprecedented corporate control.
By providing a deeper understanding of the world as it is—and as it could be—we drive bold ideas into the conversation and ignite debates far beyond our pages. We expose how power really works in the age of big tech, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic control.
We believe in intellectual freedom. We value facts and transparency. We argue that dissent is patriotic and we hold the powerful to account, no matter their political persuasion. We raise up the promise of a more democratic tomorrow while we agitate for meaningful change today. Above all, we aspire to galvanize a more informed public—one equipped with a more profound understanding of how technology and power shape our world.
The Index is self funded and independent.
The GISAID Data Science Initiative promotes the rapid sharing of data from priority pathogens including influenza, hCoV-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hMpxV as well as arboviruses including chikungunya, dengue and zika. This includes genetic sequence and related clinical and epidemiological data associated with human viruses, and geographical as well as species-specific data associated with avian and other animal viruses, to help researchers understand how viruses evolve and spread during epidemics and pandemics.
GISAID does so by overcoming disincentive hurdles and restrictions, which discourage or prevented sharing of virological data prior to formal publication.
The Initiative ensures that open access to data in GISAID is provided free-of-charge to all individuals that agreed to identify themselves and agreed to uphold the GISAID sharing mechanism governed through its Database Access Agreement.
All bonafide users with GISAID access credentials agreed to the basic premise of upholding a scientific etiquette, by acknowledging the Originating laboratories providing the specimens, and the Submitting laboratories generating sequence and other metadata, ensuring fair exploitation of results derived from the data, and that all users agree that no restrictions shall be attached to data submitted to GISAID, to promote collaboration among researchers on the basis of open sharing of data and respect for all rights and interests.
This repository, created by Webz.io, provides free datasets of publicly available news articles identified as originating from fake news websites. We release new datasets weekly, each containing approximately 1,000 articles sourced from these flagged sites. These datasets provide valuable resources for researchers, analysts, and journalists studying misinformation and disinformation trends.
Updated weekly. Sites in the datasets are verified through multiple sources. Metadata, including sentiment analysis, categories, publication dates, and source trust level is included. Covers politics, health, finance, and other key domains where misinformation is prevalent.
Each dataset is a .zip archive containing multiple JSON documents.
It's an old-school news link aggregation site. References the sites that get the best and most reliable science news (even Reddit, strangely). You can even set up a customized RSS feed.
A wiki and fandom news source about the series Serial Experiments Lain.

In 2019, a small group of independent publishers banded together to form a new cooperative called the Brick House. We raised about $90,000 through a Kickstarter campaign, and launched in December 2020.
After three years of publishing at the Brick House, we're investing our combined knowledge and resources in a much more ambitious expansion of our cooperative: FLAMING HYDRA. Each of Flaming Hydra's 60 members agrees to contribute a minimum of one original piece per month to an ingenious, brief and captivating daily newsletter, in exchange for an equal share of the subscription proceeds, payable monthly. Flaming Hydra members retain the rights to their work absolutely.
Subscribers to Flaming Hydra will receive articles and essays, comics and criticism, humor, literature, photos, and reviews, with surprises each weekday. Because there are a lot of us, only a small amount of work is required of each member. We're sharing audiences, work, and resources, so that all can benefit and thrive.

If you're a subscriber you have access to a personal, paid RSS feed as well.
In the years since this site first launched as “Reporting by Matt Taibbi,” there have been significant changes in the national media landscape. The corporate press is dying, with once-prestigious TV channels losing audience at breakneck speed. As those organizations struggle, the explosive growth of independent podcasts and sites like Substack re-kindled interest in reporting generally. One of the reasons virtually all the reporters on the #TwitterFiles story came from Substack was due to our indepdent status. While corporate outlets forgot how essential the building of trust is in maintaining faithful audiences, independents on sites like Substack have no choice but to pay close attention to the problem, succeeding only through the slow process of building relationships with subscribers over periods of years.
This website is dedicated to covering tropical activity in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. The Eyewall was founded in June 2023 by Matt Lanza and Eric Berger, who work together on the Houston-based forecasting site Space City Weather.
Our purpose is to extend our no-hype approach to forecasting weather to hurricanes across the entire Atlantic basin so that residents and business owners at risk for storms can have access to quality forecasts and make informed decisions about protecting their families, property, and businesses.
Rest of World is a nonprofit publication that challenges expectations about whose experiences with technology matter. We connect the dots across a rapidly evolving digital world, through on-the-ground reporting in places typically overlooked and underestimated.
Why “Rest of World”? It’s a corporate catchall term used in the West to designate “everyone else.” Companies use it to lump together people and markets outside wealthy Western countries. We like the term because it encapsulates the problems we fight head-on: a casual disregard for billions of people, and a Western-centric worldview that leaves an unthinkable number of insights, opportunities, and nuances out of the global conversation.

Ground News is a platform that makes it easy to compare news sources, read between the lines of media bias and break free from algorithms.
Over the past decade, online news and ad-driven algorithms have made it profitable for news outlets to embrace a position on the bias spectrum to target specific consumers. Bias in the media affects everything from what events receive coverage, to how a news outlet frames those events in their reporting. As media outlets narrow their perspective and range of coverage, it’s become impossible to consult a single news story for a well-rounded view on important issues. Ground News was created to offer clarity in an increasingly chaotic media landscape. Our vision is positive coexistence where cooperative, civil debate is the norm, media is accountable, and critical thought is the baseline of our information consumption. We’re on a mission to well inform the world by empowering readers to think freely about the issues of our times.

This site focuses on the security of routers. This includes both configuration changes to make a router more secure, and, picking a router that is more secure out of the box.
After some huge router flaws, affecting millions of routers, caught my attention, I started following the topic more closely. As a Defensive Computing guy, I eventually realized that I needed to upgrade my own router security and get more up to speed on the topic. After all, if a router gets infected with malware, or re-configured in a malicious way, most people would never know. There is no anti-virus software for routers.
They keep track of what bands are touring, where, and when, and lets you know when somebody you like will be in town.

Prepend 12ft.io/ to the URL webpage, and we'll try our best to remove the popups, ads, and other visual distractions.
Turns out most of the visual distractions on webpages are loaded after the page renders via javascript. All we do is disable the javascript of the site. This obviously doesn't work for all websites, but it works for a surprisingly large proportion of them. This is generally the case because most sites want to be indexed by Google and other search engines which have historically not run the javascript. Give it a shot on your favorite website to see how clean a JS-free version of the website is.
