In an era of misinformation, independent fact-checking plays a crucial role in upholding truth and accountability in the media landscape. But how effective is it, and what challenges does it face? This speed dating session will offer a unique opportunity to engage directly with experts in the field, explore the role of fact-checking in combating disinformation, and discuss its impact on public trust in media.

Participants will have the chance to rotate between short, focused discussions with leading professionals, gaining first-hand insights into fact-checking methodologies, the obstacles fact-checkers encounter, and the evolving landscape of media verification.
