Hyderabad: ‘Six fact-checking organizations – AFP Fact Check, BoomLive, Factly, India Today Fact Check, The Quint and Vishvas News – and Meedan, a technology non-profit that builds software and initiatives to support global journalism – have come together to support journalism and mass communication students in addressing online mis/disinformation.
This consortium of fact-checking groups and organizations aim to train selected students in fact-checking and provide mentoring and fellowship opportunities to selected students. Preference will be given to those students who are from Tier 2 and 3 cities in India and have not had access to training opportunities in the past.
The training will be over two days and we intend to train 50 students over the course of these two days. The training will be provided in Telugu and English languages. Please find the registration form which students can fill in to apply for the training program. Form link: bit.ly/3CMp0Ts or bit.ly/ekta-training‘.
