Fact-Checking

Annie Lab is a student-driven fact-checking project at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre led by Assistant Professor of Practice Dr. Masato Kajimoto. It is a part of a global alliance formed by the International Fact-checking Network to combat misinformation about the COVID-19 outbreak. Student reporters regularly publish their own fact-checking stories on the website and also manage a collection of news articles on this topic around the world.
