Who We Are
The Trusted Journalism Partnership is a nonpartisan media and academic coalition that came together to fight disinformation for the 2020 elections. The partnership includes:
AST, a program at the University of Washington Evans School for Public Policy & Governance, is a four-day accelerator program that catalyzes and amplifies your potential to drive transformational social impact. Its growing global network includes social impact leaders from across the non-profit, foundation, development and business communities. The #TrustedJournalism campaign was incubated in the AST program.
The Center‘s mission is to resist strategic misinformation, promote an informed society, and strengthen democratic discourse. They have assembled world-class researchers, labs, thought leaders, and practitioners to translate research about misinformation and disinformation into policy, technology design, curriculum development, and public engagement.
Founded as a grassroots organization in 1946, RTDNA is the world’s largest professional organization devoted exclusively to broadcast and digital journalism with a mission to promote and protect responsible journalism, defend the First Amendment rights of electronic journalists throughout the United States, honor outstanding work in the profession through the Edward R. Murrow awards and provide members with training to encourage ethical standards, newsroom leadership and industry innovation.
The Trust Project is dedicated to restoring the trusted role of the press in serving the public good. A California nonprofit corporation, it operates as an international consortium of news organizations building transparency standards and working with news distributors to affirm and amplify journalism’s commitment to transparency, accuracy, inclusion, and fairness so that the public can make informed news choices. The Trust Project developed the Trust Indicators.
