It is a joint project with the <a title=\"Media Standards Trust\" href=\"http:\/\/mediastandardstrust.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media Standards Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Simply feed in a link or block of text to <a title=\"Churnalism U.S.\" href=\"http:\/\/churnalism.sunlightfoundation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Churnalism site<\/a> or let the browser extension run in the background to notify you of any matches of text from Churnalism&#8217;s cache of documents. They include most articles in Wikipedia, press releases from PR Newswire, PR News Web, EurekaAlert!, congressional leadership offices, the White House, a sampling of Fortune 500 companies, prominent philanthropic foundations and much more.
