Building trust in media

CiteIt is developing new digital tools that help combat misinformation and selective quotations. These tools show the context surrounding the quoted media in order to build trust and understanding.

Code:

Install WordPress plugin

The CiteIt Wordpress plugin is the easiest way to start experimenting with CiteIt on your website.

Alpha Status

The WordPress plugin is not yet part of the WordPress Plugin directory because it has not yet been widely tested.

I don't want to get a bunch of negative reviews for bugs. After you've tried it out, send me an email with feeback.

Once I get enough positive feedback, I hope to add it to the plugin directory.
