third-party fact-checkers

Third-party fact-checkers are independent organizations or experts who evaluate the accuracy of information, especially news and claims shared online or in media. They investigate, verify facts, and provide clear assessments—such as "true," "false," or "misleading." Their role helps to combat misinformation by offering unbiased, evidence-based evaluations. These fact-checkers are separate from political entities or media outlets, ensuring impartiality and trustworthiness in their assessments. Their work supports informed decision-making and promotes accountability in the dissemination of information across digital platforms and news sources.
