Description: European Fact-Checking Standards Network Project
The European Fact-Checking Standards Network Project is an effort to bring together independent fact-checking organisations to discuss and define the standards of independence, transparency and methodological and journalistic quality that must guide our efforts to combat disinformation.
This discussion has been translated into a Code of Professional Integrity for European fact-checkers approved by 44 European organisations.
The Code has the full legitimacy that it needs to be recognised and implemented. As a community, in the following months we will appoint a Governance Body to evaluate compliance with the Code and help organisations uphold its standards.
