Great idea. Facebook is already investing into this but there is a need for an independent system to verify news stories and articles and crowdsourcing is a great way to do it. Nice job!

-Great two-prong approach, and choosing a salient, consequential problem
-The Chrome extension is great, and love the "click bait" flag filter
-If you go with the education bent, I would recommend targeting trade schools as well! They're less likely to learn critical reasoning in this program, which means you could make big impact with a traditionally underserved communities.
Question:
-What are your community verification procedures? That is, how do we ensure the crowd is verifying true information?
-What is your user acquisition strategy for folks who might be more likely to be reading fake news?
-Have you considered internal rankings based on the average veracity of a source? Consider whether there are libraries that would help you achieve this. Could also do this for individual reputation (in addition to publication).

Pretty cool idea, maybe consider a login to help reduce duplicates, perhaps create a system to ranking of people who are more likely to verify quality
Questions
-Who is your target audience, have you considered reaching out to educators?
-How do you make it agnostic to political leaning?
