- Online and in-person trainings to help fact-checkers develop critical skills, build capacity and contribute to public discourse
- Analyses of the field’s latest developments in an annual State of the Fact-Checkers Report, articles and a weekly newsletter to identify and forecast industry trends, surface common positions of fact-checkers worldwide and monitor global policy-making about fact-checking
