The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) is hosting a free webinar on April 23, led by Maldita, aimed at enhancing journalists' ability to understand and report on disinformation narratives. This 90-minute session will cover practical skills such as monitoring narrative ecosystems and identifying key amplifiers. Clara Jiménez Cruz from Maldita emphasizes the importance of recognizing how false narratives propagate. Angie Drobnic Holan of IFCN highlights the need for fact-checkers to evolve from merely debunking claims to investigating the formation and dissemination of disinformation.
"The work on narratives is fundamental for the understanding of disinformation; that's probably why it's often under attack... for fact-checkers, narratives cannot be pointed out unless they have been pushed time and time again using demonstrably false information."
"This is a critical moment for fact-checking journalists to move beyond debunking single claims and start tracing how false narratives take shape and spread... the training will equip fact-checkers to investigate how disinformation narratives form, evolve, and gain traction."
