The Public Media Alliance is "a non-profit organisation funded by over fifty public media organisations, including the BBC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Zweites Deutches Fernsehen (ZDF), the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and Thai PBS"
One of their latest news stories is of an education train that acts as a moving classroom, which has been expnanded with "a car on the subject of “fake news”... The new content aims to promote the media literacy of students and to help them distinguish fakes from facts." by the Swiss public broadcaster SRG.
