Abstract

This study delves into the diverse fact-checking methods employed by media organizations and their influence on both internal operations and consumer perceptions. Through a mixed-methods approach, the research combines survey data and expert interviews to provide a comprehensive analysis. The survey, targeting a global audience aged 18 to 40, explores consumer habits, trust in online information, and the impact of fact-checking labels on engagement. Expert interviews with professionals from various regions and organizations offer insights into the operational challenges and strategic considerations behind fact-checking practices. The study highlights the balance between AI-assisted tools and manual methods, the role of fact-checking in politically polarized environments, and the unique challenges of internal editorial fact-checking. By integrating survey and interview data, the research provides a nuanced understanding of how fact-checking methods influence trust and engagement across different platforms, offering valuable insights for media professionals and digital marketers.
