Claim-Checking Toolkit

Although fact-checking may seem like a complex process, the basic steps are actually very simple. The difficulty appears when we try to examine issues in depth and with multi-sided evidence, which is where the professional side of the field begins. But at an everyday level, anyone can carry out a quick and simple check to determine whether a photo, video, or text they saw in a social media post or on a website is real or not. Below you will find the fact-checking toolkit, a set of tools we have organized by category to help you carry out a simple check of basic information on your own within a few minutes. Each tool in the toolkit includes a short description and the link to the page or pages, or the plugin or plugins, you will need and how to use them. The toolkit will be expanded as new tools are developed. If you have a tool in mind that we have not included, you can contact us by email or through social media.
