Making Fact-Checking a Global Practice

The Permanent Missions of the Republic of Costa Rica, Ghana, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Lithuania, Ukraine, the United States of America and the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations in New York, with participation of the UN Department of Global Communications, co-organised a virtual event “Making fact-checking a global practice: towards a common approach to countering disinformation and misinformation” held on 7 July 2021 at 10:00 (EDT) / 16:00 (CET).
The event aims to identify points of convergence, best practices and possible ways forward for a meaningful contribution of fact- and source-checking activities to fighting disinformation and misinformation, as well as increased synergy between international organisations, states, online platforms, media, fact-checkers and other relevant stakeholders. Participants will address the experience of fact- and source-checking with a particular focus on the activities of the online platforms and how to develop a vision of the current trends and possible common actions, in particular within the framework of Global Media and Information Literacy Week.
The event is moderated by Ryan Heath, Politico. The event also features representatives from EEAS - Task Forces and Information Analysis Division, Seoul National University FactCheck Center, Facebook, StopFake from Lithuania and DebunkEU from Ukraine.
