The spread of fact-checking in Africa
We explore the work of a fact-checking charity trying to raise awareness about misinformation in Africa.
Fact-checking politicians, social media and the news is becoming a popular business. With misinformation so easy to spread, how can it be stopped or challenged? We explore the work of one charity, Africa Check – which is trying to spread skills and awareness across the continent. We talk to its founder, Peter Cunliffe-Jones, about why he thinks fact-checking alone is not enough to tackle misinformation.
