Help reinforce trust and integrity in journalism with the Universal Bio.

The Universal Bio isn’t about deciding who is a legitimate journalist. Rather, it’s about providing clear, accessible information regarding the individual behind a piece of content.

Instantly see the person or publication behind content

In an instant, our API can help platforms show the person and publication behind a piece of content, building trust and credibility among users and helping differentiate recognised news sources from bad actors and disinformation campaigns.

We also use thousands of data points to create instant context for articles without a recognized author or publication credentials.

The WEF has ranked disinformation the biggest threat to society over the next 2 years.
