Who we are and what we’re building

About

Today’s students are the first generation raised in a media-dominated news landscape. We're working to keep up with that.

The Lighthouse Mission

We’re meeting the next generation where their information habits begin - in classrooms - with a tool that is trusted by teachers, helpful for students, and aligned with educational literacy mandates

Schools reach nearly every future digital citizen. However, teachers lack accessible, classroom-ready tools for media literacy practice. Districts are now seeking low-cost, curriculum-integrated tools to provide measurable outcomes in critical thinking and digital safety.

Lighthouse transforms how everyday citizens digest media, reshaping the current digital landscape of distrust and polarization. Our in-situ, AI-driven platform enables users to critically assess the content they consume. Lighthouse generates real-time, evidence-based reports to evaluate the credibility, bias, and transparency of digital media and offers a space for moderated community evaluation of sources.

Join us in bringing clarity where it’s needed most.
