In this training, CCIJ Editorial Director Yaffa Fredrick will walk reporters and editors through the fundamentals of fact-checking. What are the key types of questions reporters should be asking when searching for sources for their stories? What are the essential pieces of evidence that editors should be seeking to substantiate the reporter’s findings? Using a deconstructed version of a recently published CCIJ story, Fredrick will bring the fundamentals of this essential reporting process to life. And, at the end of the training, participants will have a comprehensive set of tools to approach the critical art of fact-checking in their own reporting work.
