Americans are becoming increasingly skeptical of their news sources.
In a report conducted by the Pew Research Center released in December, 32 percent of U.S. adults said they often see fake political news online, and 51 percent of adults say they often see inaccurate political news reports.
Three Chico State alumnus seek to change that by providing a platform that lets readers critique the news themselves. Tribeworthy.com is that platform, and lead developer of Tribeworthy Austin Walker says their rating system guides users through a critical thinking process, which opens the users minds to biases, logical fallacies, and misrepresentations within an article.
“I would say that we like to call ourselves the Yelp or Rotten Tomatoes of online articles, but rather than an up or down vote, or five-star-review, we’re asking you to think more critically,” said Chase Palmieri, CEO of Tribeworthy.
