Reality Check is a newsletter created by the Getting Better Foundation designed for people who want to understand the world as it really is - without the noise, outrage, or spin. Our goal is to help you stay grounded in facts, see the world more clearly, and get evidence-based updates on how the world is actually improving.
This isn’t about optimism or pessimism. It’s about building trust through media literacy and seeing the world more clearly, with data, context, and intellectual honesty.
What you’ll get:
Evidence-based facts and long-term data showing where the world is getting better in health, education, safety, and prosperity
Trusted sources that separate trends from headlines and context from panic
Plain-language explanations of how media framing and human intuition can distort reality
Honest acknowledgment of real problems, without exaggeration or despair
A calmer, more grounded way to stay informed week after week
What this isn’t:
Not political, partisan, or ideological
Not “good news only” or forced optimism
Trust Me: How do you know what to believe?
Watch our award-winning feature-length documentary, which explores human nature, information technology, media bias, and the need for media literacy to help people trust one another, bring them together and create a more resilient population.
