Disinformation, conspiracy theories, hoaxes, cheap-fakes or deep-fakes; the information pollution evolves and new and stronger strategies are needed to deal with it. Journalists and fact-checkers have to work in a greater complex context, shaped not only by the boundless possibilities of Artificial Intelligence but also strained by political pressure, online harassmet or even judicial persecution.

This is a mutual learning activity on how to reassess the importance of truth and pluralistic environments, but also on how to ensure quality journalism and fact-checkers’s guidance and safety.
