#Factchecking projects faced challenges in 2025, with three times as many closing as opening. #Fundingdifficulties, including the end of Meta’s fact-checking programme in the US, contributed to this trend. Despite these setbacks, the majority of fact-checking projects continue to operate, countering false claims and debunking misinformation. https://reporterslab.org/2026/06/12/2026-census-fact-checking-losses-continue-amid-funding-pressure-but-most-projects-persist/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
