[governance] Fwd: Call for Participation: IEEE P7011™, Standard for the Process of Identifying and Rating the Trustworthiness of News Sources

Tue Mar 27 18:31:13 EDT 2018

Dear colleagues,

I urge anyone who can, to join this crucial working group (WG). You don't
need to be a member of IEEE. "Fake news online" is a subject that has been
in discussions, and discussants (including many of us) are always of the
view that something should be done about the problem. This WG is a step in
this direction.

Best,
Chris

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) invites your participation in the
working group for IEEE P7011™, Standard for the Process of Identifying and
Rating the Trustworthiness of News Sources.

Why get involved:

This standard provides semi-autonomous processes using standards to create
and maintain news purveyor ratings for purposes of public awareness. It
standardizes processes to identify and rate the factual accuracy of news
stories in order to produce a rating of online news purveyors and the
online portion of multimedia news purveyors. This process will be used to
produce reputation scorecards through multi-faceted and multi-sourced
approaches. The standard defines an algorithm using open source software
and a score card rating system as methodology for rating trustworthiness as
a core tenant in an effort to establish trust and acceptance.

Who should participate:

Individuals and Companies/Entities engaged in the following areas:

News Media
Internet Search
Social Media
Online Advertising
Big Data
Human Interface
Design Ethics
Open Source Communities

Individuals working as:

Software Engineers
Journalists
AI Developers
