CLARO: An AI-powered platform that teaches teenagers to compare journalistic perspectives and engage in evidence-based dialogue
Request Early AccessToday's teenagers consume news primarily through algorithmically-curated social media, struggle to distinguish between different journalistic perspectives, and face increasing polarization. Traditional media literacy focuses on detecting "fake news," but misses the deeper skill: understanding how legitimate journalism differs in framing, emphasis, and context across European media systems.
CLARO presents verified journalistic coverage of the same topic from different European media sources side-by-side, making pluralism tangible and comparable
Students learn to recognize framing differences, distinguish fact from interpretation, and understand legitimate editorial diversity without collapsing it into "truth vs. false"
Guided classroom activities and Socratic dialogue teach students to engage respectfully with opposing viewpoints and construct evidence-based arguments
The platform uses AI to compare and organize journalism—not to generate content or assign ideological labels. Full transparency on how comparisons are made
CLARO aggregates verified journalistic content from diverse European media sources on topics salient to young people
Multilingual AI tools identify topic similarities and surface different editorial angles and framing approaches
Teachers use 15-hour learning modules combining platform analysis with guided classroom dialogue (Socratic method)
Students develop proven media literacy competencies: perspective recognition, framing analysis, and evidence-based reasoning
