The big revalation with newstrust is it is not something that can be solved with algorithm. To address that challenge is very difficult -- the problem of confirmation bias. Toward the end of NEwstrust I still had some issues about methedology. We had a nice news filtering system, but it required professional involvement which was more expensive.

It is a combination of things. Media literacy continues to be really important. But it is in the end developing people's critical thinking skills. Algorithms are great but ultimately the battle takes palce in side our head. It has to include quite a bit of help in that area. We are not going to e able to move the needle quickly.

That is why I am not jumping in because it is so difficult. It comes down to critical thinking so that is why I am involved in education right now. I'm working with 8- to 10-year-olds to find ways to engage them. I used to think it was enough to inform people but now it has become pretty clear you have to engage them first.
