ANNOUNCING: The Prism Anti-Misinformation Resources Catalog™

The best the community has to offer across all aspects of the misinformation problem. Evolving to be exhaustive.

Dear reader,

I am proud today to announce the official 1.0 build of our comprehensive Anti-Misinformation Resources Catalog. This meta-resource needs to reach as many people as possible; please share it with anyone in your life who you think could make use of it!

The anti-misinformation community is awesome. Large, multi-faceted, and growing. So many good people are making so many good things—from classroom materials to interface nudges to support groups—ready to be leveraged to turn back the tide on this thing called misinformation.

It is my opinion that anti-misinformation is the defining cause of our time. That’s why I started Prism. That’s why I can’t stop thinking about it.

The Prism vision for this community is that we can only win by coming together in new and powerful ways—and that starts with sharing everyone’s great work with everyone else. To make a dent in this problem, our society needs

• broad-based media, news, information, and science literacy;

• tools for people to strengthen themselves and others and develop essential habits;

• support to help people heal and rebuild the relationships capable of reaching those most in need;

• fixes to the structures and systems that make misinformation profitable;

• the means to collectively deter and shut down bad actors; and

• organizational, financial, political, and informational support for the cause.

This Catalog is the informational support piece of the puzzle—pulling together existing knowledge and placing it all at the community’s fingertips—with the hope that it helps enable the rest of what we need to do. A preview of the sections you will find in the Catalog, with brief descriptions of each, is below the break.

I welcome your feedback at any time; there will be many revisions to come as we learn of new resources and come up with better ways to organize them.

With sincere thanks,

— Kevin
