Introducing: Between The Headlines
Get the facts, see how the story was covered, and sniff out misinformation for major news events.
Dear Prism reader,
Being part of our community means wanting to be part of the solution to misinformation. With that goal in mind, one thing each of us can do is try to keep getting better at reading the news! Cultivating citizens who are more media-savvy, well-equipped to take in the news through a critical lens, has to be a priority goal.
Between The Headlines is a new Prism product that walks news consumers through a simple, structured approach to grasping the substance and meta of big stories, one by one: what is known about what happened; how news organizations on different segments of the bias spectrum covered (or failed to cover) it; and what false narratives have spread in relation to it.
If enough of us are consuming news events this way, we can put a chunky dent in the misinformation problem we all want to see solved. Let’s get to it!
