Fact-checking: What’s true and false? Columbia weighs in

We interviewed residents in Columbia, Missouri, to see which claims they felt were true or false before we showed them the results of our fact-checking. Does the public feel that fact-checking websites are useful? Watch and see.

Take a closer look at the fact-checking website we built: https://www.rjionline.org/factchecker 

And explore our fact-checker files in GitHub. 

In our expert segment, we speak with Angie Holan, editor of PolitiFact, about her work and advice on how to start fact checking in your newsroom.
