Summary: Through its Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Culture Project, WEF is working to rebuild trust in media institutions. Its Quality Project is creating a tool that aggregates data from other initiatives assessing media quality and allows users to make personalized decisions about how to weight factors of media quality in their own assessments. Additionally, Project Meridio aims at creating an open-source tool to empower users to manage their personal data. WEF is also supporting local independent news through its United for News program and helped launch the DQ Institute, which seeks to improve digital literacy.
