Sharpen Your Election Fact-Checking with New Tools and Tactics

In this RTDNA/Google News Initiative training, we’ll explore ways to combat misinformation and disinformation during election coverage.

• We’ll use tools such as Google Fact-Check Explorer to track fact-checked images and stories.
• We’ll use Google Scholar to background candidates and claims.
• We’ll break down doctored videos with WatchFramebyFrame and Deepware.
• We’ll also look at the innovative Rolliapp.com to track disinformation spreaders on social channels.

Participants get a handout with links to tools and exercise materials you can take to your newsroom.
