The BCU and Meedan teams have been recently successful with a new round of funding to expand their work on the Check project from the MENA to include new partners in East Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. The aim of Check Global is to collaborate with an international network of independent media organizations, journalism schools and human rights researchers in the developing world to create open source tools and online and offline training to support emerging practices in digital media literacy skills, fact-checking, disinformation monitoring and online verification. This talk will focus on the challenges of designing and delivering a project which makes sense and is impactful in 15 different countries, and the opportunities such a program offers to the research team based at the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research.
