- To have #GlobalFact2026 in Lithuania was “a huge milestone,” representing a landmark moment for some Baltic fact-checkers and a region that has, for years, found itself on the front lines of information warfare between east and west.
- What to do with AI? That was one of the major themes during GlobalFact 2026. It can be a savior for workflow. It can be an obstacle to uncovering the truth. But one way or another, it is affecting much of the universe fact-checkers inhabit.
- How are fact-checkers showing up on social video? Fact-checkers from India, the United States and Poland showcased videos that debunk scams, explain immigration policy and challenge politicians at #GlobalFact2026
