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.

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.
