Media Civics Lab Fact-Checking Academy is a six-month-long leadership development program on fact-checking for content creators and influencers with the goal of developing a new breed of media and information literacy (MIL) champions in the Philippines.
The project is funded by Internews under the Strengthening Disinformation Resilience in the Philippines – Six-Track Engagement Against Disinformation Initiative (STEAD-i).
The program will specialize in equipping the content creators and influencers with knowledge and skills on fact-checking, media and information literacy, video and multimedia production, and responsible digital citizenship.
By leveraging multimedia content production skills, coupled with their newly-acquired knowledge on fact-checking, influencers and content creators are expected to produce fact-checking campaigns published across different social media platforms.
