PWGD will be the world’s first democratically filtered news source. While there are other websites (i.e. MoveOn.org, Idealist.org) that have democratic agendas, there are none whose members initiate the interest, post all of the information, and filter the information for inaccuracies and falsehood. As misinformation is spread throughout regular media sources like television and radio, a democratically selected news source is an extraordinarily exciting prospect.
When an article is submitted, the software we create will randomly select a “jury” of people from the list of those who have stated an interest in the subject matter pertaining to that of said article. Those people will receive a copy of the article with instructions to read the article and research its statements of fact in order to verify their accuracy. If the article is deemed valid, by a majority vote, then it will be posted instantly. However, should it be determined that the article contains propaganda or fallacies, then it will be returned to its author with a specific explanation. While any staff, officer, or board member may contribute to the website, they will undergo the same evaluation process.
