These guidelines describe the organisation, methodology and lessons learned during the first phase of EUfactcheck, the pedagogical fact-checking project powered by the European Journalism Training Association. With these practical guidelines we want to spread the EUfactcheck methodology, hoping our lessons learned (by trial and error) provide takeaways and valuable input for staff and students of journalism and other institutions all over the world.
In part I of this report ‘How to organise a multinational fact-checking project with a large group of journalism schools’, we provide a detailed description of the project’s process: history, management and lessons learned.
In part II ‘How to organise a fact-checking module in the journalism curriculum’ we focus on the pedagogical approach and methodology used during the project’s first production phase (January-June 2019).
