Poynter Institute, St. Petersburg, Florida: Independent Journalism in Practice

- Poynter's training for journalists and writers now teaches tools and best practices to identify misinfo....
- "Fact-checking to... check the veracity of images uses tools like RevEye and Google’s Reverse Image Search, picking apart viral social media videos with InVid and YouTube Dataviewer and assessing social media profiles with Account Analysis and StalkScan."
- With the launch of its PolitiFact project in 2007 the St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) led a fact-checking initiative that quickly became a world-wide network. Fact-checking best practice are vital and necessary in an era of dis- and mis-information and daily attacks on facts and science.

Poynter Takes on Full Management of PolitiFact
- The Poynter Institute, home of the International Fact Checking Network, which launched in 2015 as a forum for fact-checkers on all continents, has now expanded its fact-finding services.
- Poynter's International Fact Checking Network monitors trends, research and best practices, with articles on a dedicated channel on poynter.org and a weekly newsletter co-edited with the American Press Institute. The IFCN produced a code of principles for fact-checking; 46 organizations (including PolitiFact) are currently (Feb. 2018) verified signatories of the IFCN’s code, which is a minimum condition for being accepted as a third-party fact-checker by Facebook.

On Anti-disinformation Work
Facing a Tide of Dis-info and Mis-info
A President and Legacy of Dis- and Mis-information
At GreenPolicy360 we continue to advocate for science and facts. Fact checking and fact finding increasingly have grown in importance as social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc) can exponentially multiply falsehoods and untruths.
In the era of the Internet, politics is taking on new powers to reach, engage, interact with, convert and motivate targeted audiences with calls to action.
Fact checking is essential in this powerful, fast changing and evolving Internet ....
Washington Post
Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims as president. Nearly half came in his final year.
