Associated Press’ website, an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
Many of us strive to stay well-informed of local and international events, but sometimes the news can be stressful or discouraging. To help counterbalance this, the data visualization website Information is Beautiful recently embarked on a new project, Beautiful News Daily. As its name implies, this project offers its visitors “a collection of good news, positive trends, uplifting statistics and facts, all beautifully visualized.”
FactCheck.org’s SciCheck feature focuses exclusively on false and misleading scientific claims that are made by partisans to influence public policy.
