The Problem and the Project
The League’s Truth in Campaign Advertising project seeks to encourage and support local television stations as they exercise their responsibility to ensure the campaign ads they run are accurate, to reject those that are not, and, as part of their service to their communities, on the station’s news segments to provide viewers with nonpartisan, objective analysis of the political ads being run on their station.

The League of Women Voters was founded just six months prior to this huge advancement, and began as a "mighty political experiment" designed to help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters.
