Media Literacy
We fight against disinformation and create media literacy tools so that more and more people learn to identify and dismiss false or misleading information in the media and digital outlets. We analyze the origin of fake news in Spanish and how they are spread and affect Latino communities, and we train journalists, social leaders and citizens in the latest trends and technologies to detect disinformation in Spanish and reduce its spread.
