NewsGuard is a news rating service and app.

Their front page:
Restoring Trust & Accountability
NewsGuard uses journalism to fight false news, misinformation, and disinformation. Our trained analysts, who are experienced journalists, research online news brands to help readers and viewers know which ones are trying to do legitimate journalism—and which are not.
Our Green-Red ratings signal if a website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda.
Readers have more context for their news online.
And advertisers worried about their brands’ reputations keep their ads off unreliable news sites.
NewsGuard also provides “Nutrition Label” write-ups of the more than 2,000 news and information sites that account for 96% of online engagement in the U.S. in English.
A SWAT team of NewsGuard analysts operates 24/7 to identify suddenly trending purveyors of unreliable news among sites that NewsGuard has not yet rated and warn internet users about them in real time.
After launching in the U.S., NewsGuard will expand to serve the billions of people globally who get news online.
Our goal is to give everyone the information they need to be better informed about which news sources they can rely on—or can’t rely on.
