I found the Newslea website very frustrating because you need to sign in to see almost everything - the only freely accessible resource was the blog, which published infrequently. It's frustrating because what the site does should be subject to public scrutiny. It selects and offers curricula-aligned news resources to schools "from over 100 authority sources in the publishing realm namely: History, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, PBS NewsHour, Scientific American, Smithsonian, World History Encyclopedia, among others." So what, exactly, is being shown to students? Fox News? National Geographic? The site stresses access and equality, anti-bias and anti-racism, but you can't actually read about any of this without signing in.
