Description

Fact-checkers dismantle and reassemble investigations, scrutinizing claims from top to bottom. But far from every newsroom has a fact-checking department. This session would be a lesson in how to apply a fact-checker’s mindset to your own reporting, both in terms of philosophy and nuts and bolts. How do you know that what a source is telling you is true? You’ve found a smoking-gun document, but can you trust it? What are the best resources for your fact-checking toolbox? This panel will train you to internalize the fact-checker’s mantra: "Assume nothing."
