Tools and Resources to Help Facts Keep Pace with Fake News by Oren Levine.

From the post:

When fake news moves fast, you need the right tools and resources to help the truth keep pace.

To inspire you to enter TruthBuzz: The viral fact-checking contest, we have collected some useful tools, along with resources that shed light on fake and misleading news and information, and how it spreads online.

During our recent TruthBuzz webinar, my fellow contest judges, Aimee Rinehart, Shaheryar Popalzai and I shared several resources and tools that could be useful in helping you craft your TruthBuzz entry. We’ve also rounded those up here:

Enabling people to decide for themselves what is or is not “fake news,” gets my full support.

Filtering or suppressing “fake news” requires others to determine fake/not fake and is censorship whatever other label you want to use.

The resources listed can be helpful and the contest, TruthBuzz: The viral fact-checking contest, does have a $10K, $5K and $2.5K prizes.
