\nDiscover the World of Fact-Checking\r<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than two decades, fact-checking<\/em> has been part of journalism but in the era of social media, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 2020 US elections, it has become a central part of our daily vocabulary. Yet, what does fact-checking truly mean in practice? How does it work behind the scenes? And what does it take to be a fact-checker today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on 28 October at the University of Luxembourg<\/strong> for a unique event hosted by the MEDIACentre<\/a><\/strong>, the Institute of Digital Ethics<\/strong> (ULIDE)<\/a>, EDMO BELUX <\/a>(European Digital Media Observatory) and RTL L\u00ebtzebuerg<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students, teachers, and staff are invited to meet professional fact-checkers and experts in disinformation mitigation, ask questions, and gain firsthand insight into how truth is verified in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will also be an opportunity to meet with the members of the research projects REMEDIS (REgulatory and other Solutions to MitigatE online DISinfomation) <\/a>and FAMOUS<\/a> (Fake Activity Market Observation system of Unethical Services) who will be present to show their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
