Fact-check service to fight false news

Press/Media

Description

The first research-based, systematic fact-checking service launched and operated by an independent academic institution in the city provides free analytical articles about suspicious news on its website, social media accounts as well as mobile app.

The service was launched as more than half of 1,200 adults interviewed by the university last year said they had occasionally spotted fake news in mainstream media, while about 37 percent said they had found lots of pandemic-related fake news.
