The Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting is partnering with Gigafact to produce timely fact briefs, or quick-response fact checks, about trending claims relating to Arizona.
Gigafact is a nonprofit technology and information company working with newsrooms to correct misinformation. As part of our partnership, AZCIR will produce fact briefs to address statements about recent events or policies circulating online, deeming the claims accurate or inaccurate and providing documentation to back up our calls.
We’ll use this platform to push back on mis- and disinformation, publishing several fact briefs per week. This work isn’t about political opinions or clickbait, but rather providing fact-based, neutral analyses to help clarify topics that are important to our state and nation.
By adding these fact briefs to our existing investigative journalism, we can reach readers in new ways, often in a more timely and responsive manner.
