Just saw something about this browser plug-in – https://www.newsguardtech.com/ 1. You can install the NewsGuard plugin in either your Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari browser with one click. 2. As you browse the news, you’ll see the NewsGuard icon next to news links on search engines and social media feeds, such as Google, Bing, Facebook and Twitter. 1. Green rated sites follow basic standards of accuracy and accountability; 2. Red rated sites do not; 3. Blue rated sites refer to platforms; 4. Orange rated sites indicate satire sites; and, 5. Gray rated sites are those we are in the process of rating and reviewing. 3. Hover your mouse over the NewsGuard icon for a brief description of each site and why it received its rating. Click “See the full Nutrition Label” to read a longer description of the site and how it rates on each of our nine criteria. Might be worth investigating… *Gwen Kent | Academic Liaison Librarian* Learning Resources & Service Excellence Room LM07, Library, Luton E: gwen.k...@beds.ac.uk T: 01582 489 758 Ext: 9758 Visit the University of Bedfordshire Repository <http://uobrep.openrepository.com/uobrep/> for free, open access to our research.
