We’re excited to announce The Factual’s first annual scholarship program for media literacy.
The Factual is a technology startup based in San Mateo, California that helps people find the most credible news across the political spectrum. The Factual’s daily email newsletter delivers the most credible stories on trending news topics, with handy summaries to save people time. To determine credibility, The Factual uses an algorithm to automatically evaluate news articles based on author expertise, evidence cited, level of opinionatedness, and site reputation.
We hope that this scholarship program will encourage readers to look critically at the information provided to them and reach their own conclusions.Writing Prompt
