In the current landscape of misinformation, media distrust, and political polarization, truth and education is the only path to preserving democracy. Our campaign is rooted in the mindset that to stop misinformation and promote the truth, individuals must believe that credibility is “all or nothing” matter, and that we cannot accept anything other than total transparency in the news. 

The News Literacy Project’s RumorGuard uses five factors to determine credibility: authenticity, source, evidence, context and reasoning. It is our mission to educate individuals on the five factors, motivate them to use the five factors when disseminating all information, and fight back against information that does not meet the criteria. 

Five or Nothing empowers individuals to think before they share news online. It is a movement of individuals who will speak out against information that does not meet all five factors of credibility. Five or nothing inspires agents of change in the age of media and misinformation.

Stand up for News Literacy and fight against misinformation by pledging to use the five factors while evaluating your news.
