George: I love that. Rigorously non-partisan. And so, you're well on your way to establishing<br />
the News Literacy Project across America. What's next for the international stage?<br />
Alan: When we created Checkology in 2016, it was really a domestic-based platform. It's in<br />
English, we had a lesson on the First Amendment, and most of the media examples we use are<br />
from the US. But what we found is that misinformation, disinformation, and conspiratorial<br />
thinking know no boundaries. This is an existential global challenge. We've seen educators<br />
using the platform in well over 100 countries, and we responded to that by creating a lesson on<br />
world press freedoms. We also created a lesson in English and Spanish, and we've done work<br />
throughout the world at conferences through professional development and webinars. We have a<br />
colleague based in Barcelona who handles our international work, and we are poised, if there<br />
was interest and support, to create a version of Checkology for other countries in other<br />
languages using journalists and media in those countries because we've seen that in places like<br />
Myanmar and India that disinformation can be used to incite ethnic violence and lead to<br />
tragedies and death. This is why it is a global need.<br />
