International Fact-Checking Day
April 2nd is Fact-Checking Day, an initiative created by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) to raise awareness about the importance of fact-checking information. In times of fake news, the work of fact-checkers has become essential for democracy, helping to combat rumors and manipulations that spread quickly through networks.
Newspapers, fact-checking agencies and digital platforms promote actions to encourage critical thinking and responsible news consumption. In 2024, the central theme highlights the impact of artificial intelligence on the spread of misinformation and the challenges of identifying false content. Experts warn that fact-checking is a collective duty and essential for a well-informed society.
