Breaking News or Breaking It Down? The Rise of Fact-Checking in Newsrooms
What’s the difference between reporting the news and verifying it? In this episode of Behind the Facts, we dive into the increasingly blurred lines between traditional journalism and fact-checking. As misinformation spreads faster than ever, fact-checkers and journalists are finding new ways to work together—rather than compete. We explore why more newsrooms are launching dedicated verification desks, how fact-checking strengthens public trust, and what this shift means for the future of credible reporting.
