How Fact-Checking Works. With the digital deluge of misinformation, it’s getting more difficult to know what to trust. A number of fact-checking organizations have emerged and are taking up the charge to combat the spread of misinformation. These fact-checking platforms have debunked some of the most viral images and videos springing up on social media. 

Fact-checkers Dan Evon of the News Literacy Project’s RumorGuard™ platform and Rafael Olavarria of Factchequeado will talk about their work and share skills you can use to check the accuracy of information. 

Dan debunks viral rumors for NLP’s RumorGuard platform, which empowers the public to push back against misinformation. Prior to joining NLP in 2022, Dan worked as a reporter for Snopes.com, the internet’s oldest fact-checking site, where he monitored disinformation networks and addressed viral rumors.  

A Venezuelan immigrant who fled political persecution, Rafael graduated with a degree in international affairs from the Universidad Central de Venezuela. He began his journalism career as a producer and writer for CNN and was a multimedia journalist with Univisión, where he won 11 Southeast Emmy Awards.
