In this webinar (the first in a two-part series about fact-checking and ethics), Allison Baker and Viviane Fairbank from the Truth in Journalism Project will discuss the basics of editorial fact-checking, with a focus on how it can be implemented in longform media production. Their fundamental motivation is the Two-Layer Principle, which holds that there are always two distinct steps to establishing a statement in a journalistic story: first, reporting; then, verification.
