Friends, 

Political misinformation is traveling across social media platforms at an alarming rate this election cycle, endangering your ability as a voter to cast your ballot based on factual information. That’s why the Poynter Institute launched MediaWise, our innovative digital media and news literacy program.

Make a gift to Poynter today to help empower voters with the ability to find reliable, accurate information.
 


Through our work at MediaWise, we’ve already taught 9 million citizens the skills they need to sort fact from fiction online. This year, we aim to teach millions more through our new programs specifically for first-time voters and senior citizens.

We can’t do this work without support from people — like you —who care about an informed electorate and fact-based voting.

Donate now and you can instantly double your support! Your $100 donation today will be matched 100% by Poynter Foundation Board members.

On behalf of first-time voters and senior citizens across America, thank you.

Katy Byron
