NEW: THE EXAMINATION PROJECT
Over the past year NYTX has been organizing large amounts of data to aid critical media literacy and to "press the press" on important matters that affect us all. Our "eXamination" project is a work in progress. It applies filters to the New York Times for fact-checking, source analysis, words, ads, assessment of NYT editors and writers, and much more. It presents a variety of frameworks through which to understand powerful media. Visit the project now. To support our work please make a donation.
