Face aux flux de Fake News, les initiatives locales sont vraiment à encourager. Travailler sur des applications qui peuvent aussi bien déconstruire dans les langues étrangères que dans celles locales et nationales

Ethical Journalism
Ethically, we're bound to report the truth. Fact-checking is the practice that upholds this ethical standard, ensuring that our reporting is not just legally defensible but morally right.

[Josaphat Finogbé @Finogbe]

Depth over volume
Fact-checking encourages journalists to delve deeper into stories, providing context, background, and nuances that might otherwise be overlooked. It's about quality over quantity.
