International Fact-Checking Day
International Fact-Checking Day is an annual event held on April 2nd to promote the importance of fact-checking and the fight against misinformation. The day was first organized in 2017 by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), a global alliance of fact-checkers who are committed to promoting accuracy and accountability in media.
On this day, various organizations, journalists, and individuals around the world come together to raise awareness about the importance of fact-checking and to share tools and resources for detecting and combating false information. The day also serves as an opportunity to celebrate the work of fact-checkers and the vital role they play in preserving the integrity of news and information.
Events held on International Fact-Checking Day may include panel discussions, workshops, training sessions, and online campaigns focused on fact-checking and media literacy. The overarching goal is to promote accuracy, truth, and transparency in media and to empower individuals with the tools they need to identify and combat false information.
