Verificadomx

Verificado MX is a fact-checking media outlet that uses data and facts to confirm, verify, or debunk public speech from politicians, public figures and other media outlets. It also combats misinformation on social media by reviewing what circulates on the internet to detect errors, inaccuracies, or lies, and to create diverse environments, free of stigma and hate speech.

Additionally, it teaches its audience media literacy so they can detect false and discriminatory messages. The site was founded by journalists in Monterrey, Mexico, and it pays special attention to the speech of public officials, since they have decision-making power that impacts society. On Verificado, the community has a space to make suggestions and verification requests on political, social, and trending topics. In 2021 it was the winner of the Google Innovation Challenge, finalists in the WAN-IFRA awards, and since 2023 it has been an IWMF fellow.
