Faktuel

Faktuel is a Danish fact-checking website. It was founded in 2019 with the stated mission of combating misinformation and promoting a more informed public discourse in Denmark. The organization primarily focuses on verifying claims made in the Danish media, by politicians, and on social media platforms.

The website publishes articles that debunk false or misleading information. These fact-checks are typically presented with a clear verdict, such as "false," "partly false," or "true," accompanied by an explanation of the evidence used to reach that conclusion. Faktuel aims to provide readers with the context and information necessary to evaluate claims independently.

Faktuel operates independently and relies on a team of journalists and researchers. Their work is often cited by Danish media outlets seeking to verify information. The organization is committed to transparency in its methodology and sources. They also engage in public outreach to raise awareness about the importance of media literacy and critical thinking in the digital age.
