Content Science Issues Q3 2024 Donations to Fight Political Misinformation
Atlanta, Georgia – Content Science issued donations for Q3 2024 toward trusted organizations combatting the misinformation that targets political issues and elections in the United States (U.S.) and around the world. Content Science chose this focus for Q3 because of the imminent presidential election in the U.S.
Content Science gave money to organizations including but not limited to The News Literacy Project, Pew Research Center, and PolitiFact as they research why this kind of mis/disinformation happens, evaluate its impact, and combat it with education and more.
With an upcoming election and intensified political polarization, mis/disinformation has intensified against political candidates, against communities of color and the LGBTQ+ community, and about political issues.
“World Economic Forum identified misinformation as the top threat this year as it proliferates to sway elections in countries that are polarized politically,” notes Content Science President Colleen Jones. “I’m excited and honored for Content Science to support outstanding organizations in addressing this profound problem.”
In the spirit of companies like Toms making a donation for every purchase, Content Science is contributing 10% of proceeds from these popular educational online products:
- Certifications and courses offered online through Content Science Academy
- Workshops offered in person and online through Content Science Academy
- Subscriptions to premium content at Content Science Review
Content Science issues donations each quarter to nonprofits with initiatives aligned with Content Science’s purpose.
“I founded Content Science with the purpose of enabling worthy organizations to make content make a constructive difference in how people feel, decide, act, and live. If misinformation runs rampant online, people will not trust digital channels or content,” says Jones.
