Mucktracker promotes critical media literacy through innovative technological solutions. Our dedicated news tool and curriculum resources help students analyze, evaluate, and compare news sources in a standards-aligned learning experience.

We are proud that Mucktracker has been designed by educators for educators and their students. In the spirit of the pioneering muckraker journalists of the past, we hope to inspire the next generation to better understand and shape the world around them.

Reimagine

Visualizations provide a birds-eye view of the news ecosystem, allowing students to examine larger narratives and step outside of their filter bubbles. ​

Engage

Students search news topics of their choice and make meaning of the articles through a drag-and-drop canvas. They then analyze reporting by commenting on and tagging articles.

Reflect

Students critically analyze and evaluate media sources with the aid of Mucktracker media literacy lessons and activities.
