We make Newsreel. Facts about the other products come from their own websites, with the date we checked. When a site doesn't say something, the page tells you.

For teachers

A daily news video next to a daily reading assignment, and how to run both in one class period.

The News Literacy Project's curriculum next to a daily news source students can practice those skills on.

For readers

An aggregator that rates coverage by political lean, next to a news platform where journalists publish their own work.
