I am the Associate Editor at NewsTrust, where I coordinate editorial and community activities on the site. Prior to joining NewsTrust, I was a communications technology consultant to the City of New York. I earned a A.B. from Brown University in Political Science, with a focus on American politics and public access to information.

Why NewsTrust?
There is too much good journalism in the world to sit back and allow mediocre reporting to be uncritically consumed. As trust in a fragmenting news media declines, new tools are needed to help people sift through the noise and find the news that will responsibly and objectively inform them about world events. By urging readers to review the articles they are reading, NewsTrust gives them a stake in thinking critically about the news they consume. The site challenges readers to question their preconceived notions about a particular news source while allowing them to express their criticisms in a quantifiable way.

Good story, though there's really no excuse for not including links to the statistics cited.

No other sources for comment. In this case it's not an issue, but generally speaking that's a problematic practice.

While it certainly isn't thorough, this is an impactful comment with a personal perspective.
