IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0REALITY TEAM - REALITY TEAM USES WIDELY AVAILABLE TOOLS TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR DISINFORMATION TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE. IN 2021, WE REACHED NEARLY 3 MILLION HEAVY SOCIAL MEDIA USERS WHO RARELY SEE NEWS OR OTHER CREDIBLE INFORMATION. OUR CAMPAIGNS COVERED ELECTION INTEGRITY, COVID/VACCINES AND CLIMATE CHANGE. CAMPAIGN METRICS SHOW VERY STRONG INTEREST IN THE CONTENT. WE WORKED WITH ACADEMICS FROM THE YALE CENTER FOR CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS TO DEVELOP A METHOD TO RUN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TESTS ENTIRELY ON INSTAGRAM, AND FOUND 30-40% BOOST IN FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE 1-3 DAYS POST EXPOSURE TO CLIMATE AND VACCINE INFORMATION AND 17-32% SHIFT IN OPINIONS 7-18 DAYS POST EXPOSURE. EARLY RESULTS ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE CAN DRIVE AN AUDIENCE WITH LOW VOTER PARTICIPATION TO REGISTER TO VOTE. OUR CAMPAIGNS AIM TO SHARE CREDIBLE INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM FEEL SMART AND CONFIDENT, AND EQUIPS THEM TO GET BETTER AT IDENTIFYING AND RESISTING MANIPULATIVE CONTENT.
