The @ReportersLab's 10th annual fact-checking census is out. We count 417 sites that verify debunk claims in 100 countries, 69 languages. But the fact-checking tally is leveling off, even as concerns about manipulation, lies and dangerous hoaxes grow. bit.ly/2023fact-check-census

It’s great to be part of @PartnershipAI and their important work.
Replying to @PartnershipAI
@ReportersLab will deepen the Partnership’s expertise in using AI to help journalists do their work. The Reporters’ Lab will provide insights from its efforts to create tools that allow platforms and independent fact-checkers to communicate rapidly and efficiently.
