Fact-Checked: Journalists and Activists Against Lies and Propaganda
Fact-checked was a Serbia-focused project that brings together journalists and civil society activists to counter disinformation and political propaganda. In a deeply polarized media environment, the project creates a collaborative space for training, knowledge exchange, and joint action, reinforcing fact-based journalism and civic advocacy. Participants were equipped with the tools to verify information and push back against misinformation campaigns that threaten democratic discourse.
Fact-Checked included workshops, public events, and cross-sector collaborations aimed at fostering a culture of accountability and transparency in the media. It also supported the creation of compelling, fact-checked content and encouraged cooperation between media outlets and NGOs, with the goal of building a network of trusted voices dedicated to challenging disinformation and improving media literacy among the Serbian public.
