Happy International Fact-Checking Day!

International Fact-checking Day isn’t just for the fact-checkers. It’s for you, too.

On April 2, the Poynter Institute -- the nonprofit that owns PolitiFact -- is celebrating facts and equipping citizens, journalists, professional fact-checkers and educators with resources to help separate fact from fiction.

The hub for International Fact-Checking Day activities is FactCheckingDay.com. The site is hosted by another Poynter-based project, the International Fact-Checking Network, a group founded in 2015 to bring together the growing number of fact-checkers around the world.

"In our interconnected society, misinformation knows no borders," said Baybars Örsek, the network's director. "With online conspiracies fueling violence in India and Brazil and disinformation campaigns targeting elections in the European Union and the United States, fact-checking must expand to every corner of the earth. But fact-checkers can’t do it alone. International Fact-Checking Day is all about teaching the tools and methods that fact-checkers use to fight for the truth to the average person so they can be more critical consumers of information."
