Lie Detectors is a Europe-wide journalist-led non-profit that works to help teenagers and pre-teens tell news facts from news fakes and navigate the shades of bias in between. It is a member of the High Level Expert Group on Fake News which, convened by the European Commission, works to find sustainable solutions to the spread of misinformation and to boost news literacy in Europe. Lie Detectors selects and trains professional journalists for classroom visits designed to start the conversation with school children and their teachers on how to consume news online in an ever more challenging digital universe. Lie Detectors is funded by Hansjoerg Wyss and the Wyss Foundation and accredited by the Kind Baudouin Foundation. We are filling permanent positions and and rolling internships on a regular basis as we operate in new countries. Lie Detectors has no interest in telling young people what to think and takes no money from commercial or political entities. It aims to empower them to base their choices on reliable information and be actively aware of bias and persuasion. Child safety is nothing new: children worldwide have long been taught not to accept sweets from strangers. As they increase their consumption of media, they need news literacy to do so wisely.
