Webinar Announcement: “The current state of fact-checking”

Societies across the world are trying to respond to a rapidly spreading deadly virus but also to an “infodemic” of misinformation. Fake news spreads as fast as the actual virus, multiplying its strength and reach. The webinar’s goal is to discuss the issue of disinformation, in light of new developments, including polarization and lies / conspiracies about COVID-19 and to present efforts to counter falsehoods and promote scientific and data based solutions. In this virtual discussion, the Director of the International Fact-Checking Network Baybars Orsek will provide a global perspective, leading to identifying relevant trends.
