Checking the Fact-Checkers: A Global Perspective brings together a global group of leading and emerging scholars to explore industry practices and theoretical approaches to fact-checking.Scholars from different regions, fields, and disciplines provide a unique global and multi-disciplinary perspective for understanding the landscape of fact-checking initiatives and formulating effective and context-dependent strategies. Drawing on diverse international case studies, the authors explore the dynamics of global fact-checking initiatives and provide in-depth analyses of both its practical and theoretical aspects. Chapters cover the impact of fact-checking on professional journalism; fact-checking techniques; how people use fact-checking and their attitudes towards it; the civic role of fact-checking in different political systems; alternative approaches to and critiques of the concept of fact-checking, and what its limitations might be.This book will be an important resource for students, teachers, and researchers in journalism, media and communication, politics and sociology, as well as those in the fields of artificial intelligence, information systems, law, policy, and ethics.
