For Public Libraries

Run media literacy programs that patrons actually complete

Auren turns live news into interactive training exercises. Assign analysis challenges, track who completes them, measure score improvement, and export reports -- all from one dashboard.

Why current approaches fall short

Most media literacy tools were built for a different era. Static content, no tracking, no outcomes.

1

Programming attendance drops after the first session

2

No way to measure if patrons improve at evaluating news

3

Grant reports require outcome data you cannot produce

4

Staff lacks time to build curriculum from scratch

How Auren solves this

Not a content library. An interactive analysis engine wrapped in institutional management tools.

Live content, not static PDFs

Auren analyzes real, current news articles for bias, credibility, framing, and behavioral tactics. Every exercise uses today's news.

Structured assignments

Create bias detection quizzes, article analysis tasks, and cross-source comparisons. Assign them to groups with due dates.

Measurable improvement

Track completion rates, individual scores, and group trends over time. Export data for grants, accreditation, or leadership reports.

Try it yourself

This is what your participants experience. A real article, scored for bias and credibility in seconds.

City Council Slashes Education Budget in Controversial Late-Night Vote

In a move that outraged parents and teachers alike, the city council voted 5-4 to cut education spending by 15% during an emergency session that lasted past midnight. Critics called the timing "deliberately designed to avoid public scrutiny."
