Fact-Checking & Verification

About this course

Every day a false story reaches your phone wearing the clothes of truth, and the difference between being fooled and staying clear is a small set of skills. This classroom teaches you the verifier way of reading: why fact-checking matters, the five-step verification workflow, the common patterns that fake news uses, how to check photos and videos, how to find official sources and primary documents, and the free tools professional verifiers use. Each lesson is practical, calm and full of habits you can run in minutes. By the end, checking a claim will feel as natural as checking a price tag.
