"Standing together against misinformation" this International Fact-Checking Day 💡🔍 @vrtnws.be

Today, some members of the MIP lab went to the @vrtnws.be as they organised an inspiring event on the fight against misinformation and the role that fact-checkers and news media can play. With wonderful moderation and stimulating thoughts, the day was a great succes!

Social media editors and fact-checkers often receive negative public feedback and take this into account when selecting topic and language. @verstappenmarie.bsky.social from @miplab.bsky.social presenting her latest study at #etmaal2025

Vandaag was ik samen met @elisanelissen.bsky.social, @miguelvissers.bsky.social, Aike Vonk en Sofie Verkest uitgenodigd voor Wetenschnapps XXL aan de Universiteit Utrecht! Samen met praktijkexperts en een zeer enthousiast publiek hielden we een debat over het productieproces van wetenschapsnieuws.

The programme for #Etmaal2025 is now live! 👀
