Reading

The innocent reading first. The Overview gives what the center tracks, its headline figures, and the NewsGuard tools around it, all from NewsGuard's pages.

Findings

THE COUNT RIGHT. 3,749 sites in 16 languages is the record's figure (23 June 2026). Checked 2026-10-29 against the MMRS meta-aggregator record of 2026-10-28 and the entity's own pages, re-read the same day.
THE CENTER COMPOSED WITH THE CATALOGUE. False Claim Fingerprints ('to help safeguard AI models and brands') and the Brand Misinformation Monitoring Service are NewsGuard's commercial products; the composition files them under the center as 'Core Tools & Resources'. The record's center holds the content-farm catalogue and the False Claim Monitor series.
FIGURES NOT IN THE RECORD. The video-recognition failure rates and the 67% blocking figure are not verified here.

Analysis analyst prose, not machine text

The center is composed from its maker's pages, and the maker's products come with it: the entity widens from a catalogue to a company's offer. The record keeps the catalogue as the entity.

Machine text, verbatim
