Basically:
1. Agree on which facts must be in the story—your Minimum Viable Fact Log, if you want fancy terms 🤗

2. Decide WHO will do WHAT.
3. Add monetary costs, so fact-checking is both financially & physically SAFE for all colleagues.

@OluwasolafunmiA I’m sorry. This app is hectic, is why. 😩

[Ruona J. Meyer @RGAMeyer]

What is a Fact-Check Menu, and why do cross-border #journalists need one?
Fact-checking investigations causes real tension between partners in different countries. It's why since 2021, I created a Fact-Check Menu and use it when coordinating investigations.

This video is inspired by my upcoming panel at DataHarvest Conference in Belgium, this weekend; I'll tell you more about it later. 😉

French university canteens have begun offering one-euro meals to students regardless of income, in a measure designed to address financial hardship. The price, which covers a starter, main course and dessert, was previously only available to those with low incomes or receiving financial aid

@TMehnpaine Always! We have to CARE.
No care, no colleague. No colleague, no worker. No worker, no business!!

[Ruona J. Meyer @RGAMeyer]

A Lighthouse Reports survey showed that the tone of emails can ruin collaborations. So how EXACTLY can we write emails that prove we genuinely care about our colleagues, beyond what we can get from them? A few answers here👇🏾
