Reuters and Facebook Join Forces for a New Fact-Checking Mission
Reuters, in partnership with Facebook’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program, launched a fact-checking initiative to help find misinformation on social media. It creates a new unit at Reuters that is responsible for verifying content posted on Facebook and Instagram and identifying false or misleading media, including user-generated photos, videos, and headlines. (The initiative will cover the upcoming U.S. presidential election and exist beyond that as well.) Verifications will be completed in English and Spanish, and findings will be available at reuters.com/live-events/reuters-fact-check-case-studies-id2918313.For more information, read the article.
