NewsTrust is a social news network that helps people find and share good journalism online. Our members rate news stories and sources based on journalistic quality, not just popularity.

NewsTrust review tools guide citizen reviewers and experienced journalists alike through careful news evaluations, which encourage both media literacy and civic engagement. We’re non-profit, non-partisan and member-driven.
