About CommuniTies
Today’s news outlets are not always trusted as information sources by their communities. CommuniTies is changing the dialogue around distrust of media. Using an AI network science tool, CommuniTies provides actionable insights for local newsrooms to help them build digital lines of communication with their communities, preventing the spread of misinformation and disinformation.
