The Internet is full of fake news these days, in response, over 100 fact-checking organizations have sprung up around the world. On Apr. 19, Taiwan Media Watch and the Association for Quality Journalism announced the launch of The Taiwan Fact Checking Center following six months' preparations. The center will become operational in July.
Facebook, Google, LINE and other networks are all cracking down on fake news. Meanwhile, many media outlets such as the BBC have established fact-checking communities. Independent or non-governmental fact-checking organizations have also sprung up. Following half a year of preparations, Taiwan Media Watch and the Association for Quality Journalism announced the launch of the Taiwan Fact Checking Center, Taiwan's first fact-checking organization, on Apr. 19.
We will push for the checking of fake news under the principle of freedom of speech. We don't wish to have any government intervention. I think this work should be done by NGOs and the media, with everyone collaborating.
The center says social networks and people can report news for checking. Its fact checkers will then determine if there is sufficient public interest involved to launch a fact check. The process will be divided into three stages. First, a fact checker will compile a draft report on the fake news. Then another one will repeat the investigation. Finally, the chief editor will conduct an in-depth investigation and announce the results. If there are doubts, the case will be handed to advisers or an advisory committee.
We are a non-governmental, third-party neutral mechanism with no government control. We will publish information on fake news to let readers understand.
Facebook has taken measures all over the world, but at present it is still unwilling to carry out anything in the Chinese-speaking world. This is where we want to make a breakthrough.
The Taiwan Fact Checking Center will become operational in July. It will publish its fact-checking results on a weekly basis.
