Before attending the fact-checking masterclass, my understanding of fact-checking was quite superficial. I believed that the tools in this field were limited to professionals and generally inaccessible to the public. However, this training has equipped me with the skills to verify the authenticity of information, images, websites, and more. Now, I can actively combat disinformation, misinformation, and fake news.

The fact-checking training provided by AFCA equipped my team and me with valuable verification skills, especially using tools like Fotoforensics, CrowdTangle, and Whois. These tools have proven highly effective for monitoring social networks, verifying websites, and investigating image origins and keyword searches. The impact has been too profound to fully capture here. Keep up the excellent work in combating the scourge of disinformation.

Thanks to a fact-checking capacity-building fellowship, the newsroom has regained its wings and repositioned itself in fact-checking. The fellowship has enabled LaCloche Media to rebuild, reinvent itself, and strengthen its team while giving new impetus to fact-checking. In addition to the technical skills received, the programme also offered mentorship, providing invaluable guidance to help LaCloche, particularly in producing quality articles.
