Aos Fatos is a journalistic organization dedicated to investigating disinformation campaigns and fact-checking. It uses a hybrid of technology and investigative journalism to report on the lies that politicians tell, the disinformation campaigns that the powerful coordinate, and the influence of technology companies in this environment.
Its production is based on a rigorous methodology of investigation and verification recognized by transnational partnerships, awards, and state institutions. It has an award-winning multidisciplinary team involving journalists, data scientists, OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) specialists, programmers, and innovation experts.
