The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) reports a significant spike in applications for its Code of Principles, which now includes 182 verified organizations worldwide. Despite challenges like legal threats and online harassment, these organizations are increasingly dedicated to public accountability. The IFCN has streamlined its processes and expanded its governance to manage this growth effectively. Additionally, the Global Fact Check Fund has provided substantial financial support to bolster fact-checking efforts, emphasizing that credible information is increasingly valued and worth investment.
Global demand for credibility has driven a record surge in applications to the International Fact-Checking Network's Code of Principles, highlighting the persistence of fact-checking organizations.
To keep pace with the surge in applications, the IFCN rebuilt its screening process, which now allows for quicker reviews and eases the burden on assessors.
