A Typology of Fact-Checking Resources

This article maps fact-checking resources and establishes a typology of the latter, depicting the variety of available tools. The approach is bottom-up: in the frame of a European project on collaborative fact-checking, students in journalism and communication studies coming from France, Greece and Poland were asked to list and classify all fact-checking resources that they use or they are aware of. Findings revealed a common denominator, i.e., the existence of a variety of understandings of this expression, which this study has mapped. However, it also shed light to differences linked to the role of national contexts.
