Verificadomx

Verificado MX is a media outlet specializing in fact checking or discourse verification, using data and facts to confirm, verify, or deny public discourse, both from politicians and other figures with a public voice, as well as other media. It also combats misinformation on social networks by reviewing what circulates on the internet to detect errors, inaccuracies or lies; creates diverse environments, free of stigma and hate speech; and, through media literacy, teaches its audience to detect these disinformational and discriminatory messages.

The site, founded by journalists in Monterrey, Mexico, pays special attention to the statements of public officials, since the analysis of their actions and speeches is crucial because of their decision-making power that impacts society. At Verificado, the community has a space to make suggestions and requests for verification on political and social issues and trends.

In 2021, the media organization won the Google Innovation Challenge and were finalists in the WAN-IFRA awards. Since 2023 the organization has been a IWMF fellowship holder.
