Results and Studies

We aim to improve fact-checking efforts within the BECID network, other EDMO fact-checking hubs, and the Baltic States. To do so, we analyze existing literature and tools for fact-checking, compare fact-checking practices and processes, study audience responses to and perceptions of different forms of fact-checking, and analyze media and platform regulations related to fact-checking. Based on this research, our team of researchers will develop a common methodology for analyzing the effectiveness of fact-checking and propose a code of conduct for BECID fact checkers. The goal is to more effectively counter disinformation and protect vulnerable audiences from its effects.
