FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania aiming to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.
The principal aim of this unit is to fact-check visual material and claims posted on social media. The fact checking producers in this unit report their findings on a section of the Reuters.com website.
Independently fact-checks statements by influencers, as well as reporting by other news outlets. We also vet the many widely-shared claims that rocket across the internet every day.
