Ha - I do the same thing! I've also found Media Bias/Fact Check
<https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/> to be really helpful. I'm disappointed I
couldn't make it to the meeting. I do have this page that I created, with
input from a number of teachers:

And then for entertainment, there's this:

Dear BAISL-members,
Like Cassy, I love the meeting and the many great ideas that were shared.
I confessed to using Wikipedia to determine characteristics of a
publication by the way. For example, here’s their description of the Drudge
Report <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drudge_Report> we were discussing.
I also use it to determine if I’m looking at a periodical
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_Technology_(magazine)> but can’t
figure out if it’s a journal or a magazine. And the benefit is that even
super-recent ones like American Affairs
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Affairs> have “stubs.”
best,
