Verification practices in public service media as a bulwark against misinformation: Evidence from the BBC and ARD
This paper examines the verification practices and strategies of external fact-checking units within two leading European public service media (PSM) organizations: BBC Reality Check (UK) and ARD’s Faktenfinder (Germany).
