O artigo "Fact-checking initiatives in Portuguese language countries: checking methods and financing strategies", de autoria dos pesquisadores do Ejor, Lucas Missau e Laura Storch, foi publicado recentemente na revista Online Media and Global Communication, publicada pelo Center for Global Public Opinion Research of China e pela School of Journalism and Communication da Shanghai International Studies University.
Os autores analisaram 15 iniciativas de fact-checking ativos em países da Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP) e descobriram, além de uma concentração de iniciativas em países como Brasil e Portugal, um movimento consistente de padronização dos produtos de fact-checking, em particular pela massiva vinculação dessas iniciativas com veículos tradicionais de jornalismo. Mais do que isso:
"From our analysis, we detected a pattern between the type of misinformation and the media to which it is most often linked: false information was circulated mainly in texts, while false contexts were mainly circulated in videos and images led to more manipulated content. In addition, in relation to the sources used to verification of the content, we noticed a large volume of posts relied only on sources came from contacts with press offices – this was especially true for political issues", explicam so autores.
