NewsGuard is a tool that rates certain websites on its trustworthiness as an accredited source.

News literacy is fundamental to what we believe here at Newsy, part of the focus of Media Literacy Week is learning ways to identify false information. 

One company has made that easier by creating a tool that rates certain websites on its trustworthiness as an accredited source.
