Verificat
Verificat is a fact-checking project created in April 2019 to combat misinformation in Catalonia.[1] Created as an independent non-profit, the project was inspired by the platforms of the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network,[2] and in 2020 has become a verified signatory of its Code of Principles.[3]
The platform was founded by Alba Tobella and Lorenzo Marini, its current co-directors, together with Carola Solé, Roser Toll, Carina Bellver and Elisa Vivas, before the Barcelona municipal election campaign of 2019.[4][5] The project has received financial support from the Open Society Foundations since 2019.[6]
