Mongolian Fact-checking Center is a distinct unit within a legally registered NGO, Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development. Nest Center is legally registered in Mongolia under registration number 6569935. Mongolian Fact-checking Center's editorial operations are fully independent from the Nest center as approved by the order by the Chairman of Nest Center, dated May 6th, 2020, attached here to this application. 

The information is also available on MFCC's website on the following link: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

Mongolian Fact-checking Center (MFCC) is the unit of the Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development, which is legally registered as an NGO in Mongolia in May 2020. Details of its registration are confirmed from the State Registry Database here:

http://opendata.burtgel.gov.mn/lesinfo/6569935

The information of its legal registration is available for readers on MFCC's website's "About Us" section here: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

The applicant has also provided a state registration document to prove that it is a legally registered organization and the chairman’s order to prove that MFCC is a unit solely dedicated to fact-checking.

Mongolian Fact-checking Center is set up exclusively for the purpose of fact-checking. The center employs 3 full-time fact-checkers, including the editor. And as a result of our previous trainings for potential volunteer fact-checkers, we receive fact-checks to be edited and commented from time to time. But no fact-check from a volunteer has been published to date. But volunteers have helped us with translations for information to be posted on our Facebook page to raise awareness on misinformation, tools and techniques for fact-checking. All the three full-time employees engage in the fact-checking operation, but whether to fact-check certain claim or whether to post it are decided by the editorial team, with the editor, myself, making the final call. We do not post specific names of the fact-checker, who mainly worked on the fact-check for the following reasons: 1) Fact-check is normally not done with just one person. If we look at our fact-checks, there is none that was conducted by one person alone, 2) Mongolia is a small country. Therefore, by posting names of each fact-checker, we think we are increasing the chances that our fact-checkers will be contacted by a person whose claims have been denied causing personal and physical threats.    

Our initiative started on a Facebook page, where we initially planned to start fact-checking to train ourselves and create a handbook for journalists in order to develop a new approach to recognizing trusted sources, as part of UZEG platform (a web-based platform aimed at supporting freelance journalists by making it easier for them to operate online and thus diversifying the topics that are being covered), which is being developed by Mongolian Fact-checking Center's parent organization. But as we started to understand the idea of fact-checking better, we realized that we shouldn't belittle the cause to a mere training manual. We decided to make it a distinct unit with independent editorial policies and a long term development plan in sight, which includes becoming an IFCN certified operation. 

Mongolian fact-checking Center's vision is to increase the media literacy of the public, help them to use information as a tool to improve their livelihoods by the act of fact-checking. The information can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

Now, Mongolian Fact-checking center carries out in-person trainings from time to time, depending on the number of requests received at our  Facebook page, Twitter account or other channels, and we also participated in a nation-wide research on the "State of misinformation during Mongolia's parliamentary election of 2020", led by the Press Institute of Mongolia, with focus on Facebook. We try to engage in surveys and researches that will help us better understand the state of misinformation and media literacy in Mongolia as much as possible. 

The following are our short-term plan or 2021: 

1. Get certified by IFCN. This will greatly help us in getting approval from the public. Now for an average Mongolian reader, our operation may seem like a small initiative carried out by three women who have nothing else to do. Getting certified by IFCN will help us engage in more readers and advocates for media literacy.   

2. Train and recruit at least one more fact-checker who will help us do reporting on place and monitor the general news flow of the day to better identify red flags. 

3. Raise awareness of more people by making our volunteer fact-checker trainings frequent. Although, we do not receive many qualified fact-checks from volunteers, we believe that carrying out trainings is an effective way to convert naive news consumers to smarter ones. We also want to start rewarding qualified fact-checkers for the time and effort they put into the act of fact-checking in case the works are publishable after editorial inspection. 

4. Increase the number of weekly fact-checks to at least 2. 

5. Train ourselves better to utilize better and more effective tools and practices. 

6. Start collaboration with scientists, experts in certain fields and engineers who will help us better interpret professional information and use online tools more effectively. 

Mongolia is a post-socialist, democratic country sandwiched between China and Russia. In the last three decades, as the country shifted to democracy, free press surged in numbers, currently reaching 500 media outlets for the small market of three million people. Even though the law guarantees press freedom, most media companies have political affiliations and highly dependent on advertisement revenue. According to the Media Ownership Monitor (https://www.mom-rsf.org/en/countries/mongolia/), only one out of ten Mongolian media outlets is actively transparent about its ownership. To my knowledge, most of the media companies do not have or do not reveal information about their legal status, newsroom policy, and structure. Most newsrooms do not have the knowledge and capacity to do fact-checking, therefore producing low-quality journalism.

For this context, MFCC did an excellent job explaining its motivation and purpose to the readers on its website. The answers provided by the applicant seem trustworthy.

The applicant has also provided a copy of the Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development’s order with its plan for 2021, to prove that MFCC is a unit solely dedicated to fact-checking.

The center employs three full-time fact-checkers, including the editor (applicant). The bios and contacts of fact-checkers can be found at the “About Us” section of the website here:

http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

To my knowledge, MFCC is one of the first two organizations doing professional fact-checking in Mongolia (the other one is Fact Check Mongolia).

Since April 2020, when it published the first content, MFCC regularly updates the website with the new fact-check contents.

Please find the list of fact-checks conducted by the Mongolian Fact-Checking Center in 2020 as attached. 

All our fact-checks can also be found here: http://mfcc.mn/index.html

Also on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MongolianFactCheckingCenter

The applicant provided a list of 41 fact-checks published from April 1st to December 30th, 2020, and identifies, for each, a brief explanation of the main subject in English. When tracked from the website, the original versions of the fact-checks published in Mongolian, the description, number, and dates all seem accurate. Here is the timeline of the contents published:

http://mfcc.mn/index.html

Since April 1st, 2020, MFCC regularly updates the website with new fact-checks, though it does not produce fact-checks every week. There is only one fact-check published in July 2020, whereas 11 fact-checks were published in November 2020. Within a timeframe of 6 months before application total of 24 fact-checks were published, equaling approximately one fact-check per week, which makes this criterion compliant.

Since January 2021, though, the website was updated with the new fact-checks almost every week, publishing on average 4-6 contents per month. According to the organization's short-term plan, it plans to increase the number of weekly fact-checks to at least 2.

Please refer to the attachment for the previous question and our website's fact-checked section on the following link: http://mfcc.mn/index.html

Our fact-checks have concentrated more on claims related to coronavirus remedies, patient management, huan rights issues around the covid outbreak and personal information security issues, mainly phishing. 

In total, 19 fact checks were published over October, November, and December 2020. Most of these contents (about 80 percent) cover COVID_19 related topics, such as misinformation on remedies, human rights issues regarding the lockdown, government regulation confusion. There were also few fact-checks on other public interest topics, such as air pollution and external trade. Overall, well above 90 percent of the fact checks published over the previous three months before the application was related to public interest issues.   

Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO is our sole financial supporter. The NGO pays for the staff salary and provides the staff with an office  internet access. The devices used by our staff are owned by themselves. We are independent from political parties or politicians, private entities or MNCs.

The information about the financing can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

In the "About Us" section of its website, MFCC states that Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO financially supports its operation and ensures the team's editorial independence. There are no publicly available finance reports on MFCC and its parent organization Nest Center for Journalism Innovation.

The first principle of the center's code of ethics also declares the non-partisanship policy and outlines general rules for the team to prevent bias during the fact-checking here:

http://mfcc.mn/p.html 

There is a "Donation" section on MFCC's website. The center's bank account is provided along with the statement that it needs support as it operates for the public interest only and is independent of political parties or politicians, private entities, or MNCs. Though, the applicant does not provide information about the donations.

From their works published over three months before the application, there was absolutely no evidence of bias towards the government, political parties, or politicians.

Does not apply. 

The following are links to 10 fact-checks that we believe will demonstrate our non-partisanship. In terms of the number of the fact-checks made, majority have debunked or approved the claims made by the ruling party. We hope this will not be interpreted that we support the the opposition. 

We would like the assessor to understand that the number of fact-checks made are the reflection of the representation of parties in the parliament. The current parliament comprises of Democratic Party, the opposition have 11 members, 7 of whom are first-time elected with less experience, 1 member from the Mongolian labor party, a new political force acting as the third force and the leading Mongolian People's Party have 64 members in the parliament. 

Also, due to the covid outbreak, and the political intervention of it in Mongolia, we had to fact-check official claims made by the Ministry of Health multiple times as it strongly misrepresented what the WHO had said, especially in terms of myths about remedies and patient management. 

We picked the most politicized topics in Mongolia as representations of our fact-checks to show that we are bipartisan and use the same standards to decide to fact-check and post every fact-check that we do.

Most of the examples provided by the MFCC focus on COVID_19 related topics and do not explicitly address claims made by politicians. These examples do not show any sign of partisanship and deliver high standards of evidence and judgment for equivalent claims regardless of who made them.

We have made a localized translation of the IFCN's code of ethics when we initially started our fact-checking operation with slight additions that would fit our operation and make our internal management mechanism clearer. The policy can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html

In short, Mongolian Fact-checking center's fact-checkers are required to reach out to all possible sources starting with primary source, secondary source, an expert in the field where necessary and use online tools to validate claims made by sources (sources can either be humans or data, reports etc), weigh the information that have been collected before making a verdict. 

How we choose claims to fact-check is also regulated by the same regulation document on our website: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html

In short, we choose to fact-check claims based on our purposes for fact-checking, which are to prevent the public from potential harms due to consuming misinformation, educate the public and to decrease the spread of misinformation. 

The Fact-Checking Manual published at the MFCC’s website (the link provided by the applicant) mentions its fact-checking methodology and selection criteria. It states that the public interest topics such as economy, education, environment, governance, health, and human rights will be prioritized, and claims to fact-check will be selected based on MFCC’s purposes to:

1. prevent the public from potential harms due to consuming misinformation;

2. educate the public on media literacy;

3. and to decrease the spread of misinformation.

Please refer to the information provided for Criteria 1.3. 

We follow the same requirements and standards for each fact-check and sources and their interests can be found in the fact-checks where it applies, especially for politicians. 

However, as we have not done any commercial fact-checks, there have been no applicable situations where we should disclose our commercial or other such relationships. 

In each fact check, MFCC lists all of its sources and credits them in such a manner that the perspective and context of their quotes are evident to readers.

Mongolian Fact-checking Center's staff are allowed to have political beliefs as it's a basic human right, but are forbidden to post it publicly and advocate for their beliefs even on their personal social media accounts. They are also required to disclose all previous affiliations with any political parties and the nature of relationship, and hold the highest ethical standards to meet MFCC's Ethics standards, which is the direct translation of IFCN's 5 key principles. 

The standards can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/p.html

As mentioned earlier, most of the fact checks produced by MFCC focus on COVID_19 related topics and do not explicitly address claims made by politicians. There was no evidence of bias towards any political party or politicians.

Our policy for non-partisanship is stated at this link: http://mfcc.mn/p.html

All fact-checkers (currently the policy is applied only to fact-checkers and editors as this is the only position we have) are required to follow this ethical standards in their daily operations and in their social media footprint. If they are found to be in violation of these policies, they will be immediately required to leave the center. As this is an internal management procedure, this is regulated by the labor contract we sign with the fact-checkers. 

MFCC states that it follows the fact-checkers code of principles of the International Fact-Checking Network, the first principle that guarantees the commitment to nonpartisanship. The code of principle in Mongolian can be found here:

http://mfcc.mn/p.html 

Its Fact-Checking Process document mentions how the staff members are required to follow nonpartisanship and avoid conflict of interest in their fact-checking, daily work, and social media footprint:

http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html

We believe the source is the most important element in a fact-check, therefore we aim to state the sources that we use in our fact-checks as clearly as possible, while trying not to compromise the readability of the fact-check. Therefore, we state all the key sources that led us to the verdict in the main body of the fact-check and list all other relevant or discovered to be irrelevant sources at the foot of each fact-check accompanied with list of tools that we have used wherever applicable.  

An example can be seen from a recent fact-check: http://mfcc.mn/blog-post-24.html

In all stories reviewed, the fact-check summaries were explained step by step in a way that enables readers to replicate the fact check on their own. In some contents, the list of all sources (primarily open-source documents, links to the original articles if other media reportings were quoted) was provided at the end of the fact check, or in a separate list on the right side of the content. In some cases, the sources were hyperlinked, some of the hyperlinks were not working, showing an error, which could be a minor technical issue that the team needs to address.

We aim to reach out to primary sources wherever possible, and we state the fact that we have approached to the primary source in each of our fact-checks accompanied with information on whether it as been successful. We try to state a clear information about who the primary source is in cases it would not compromise the physical safety or the livelihood of the person. In case the primary source is a document or a report, we always mention it with the link to the file or the attachment of the file itself. There are cases that when we approach the primary source, they try to influence our operation and make us cancel publishing the findings. Therefore, our policy, which can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html, regulates that we should not fall into such persuasions. 

Almost all of the reviewed fact-checks use the best available primary sources, and all of them were listed or hyperlinked, making it easy for readers to fact-check on their own. In few examples, secondary sources referred to other news media stories and social media posts of officials, though the process of fact-checking was appropriately explained.

As regulated by the guide to fact-checking which can be found here at this link: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html, in order to check a certain claim, we reach out to multiple sources. The political situation in Mongolia makes it hard even to believe official policy organizations' claims, therefore we reach out to multiple sources starting from primary source, a person who have been a witness to the event and use reports, data or tools that could validate the claims made by humans.  

MFCC cites multiple sources in all of their works such as official documents, studies, confirmation, or explanation by an official or an expert. 

We clarify political interest of people who make certain claims in our fact-checks whenever we feel it's relevant to the key verdict of the fact-check. This happens with political fact-checks most commonly. 

MFCC uses various sources in a balanced way. There was no example of showing bias to any source in particular. There were examples of commenting on the reliability of specific sources if necessary.

We are a fact-checking unit of an independent nonprofit organization. Proof can be found in the attachment, which are also attached to criteria 1.1, and also on our website on this link: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

Mongolian Fact-checking center operates at the office of the Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development at no cost to the center. It is financially supported by the Nest center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO for staff salary, and as of today, MFCC does not have any revenue and does not expect to earn commercial revenue from its fact-checking operation. Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO supports its own operations and MFCC's through grants, through media market research service, paid training for journalists and through social marketing advisor service it provides to media sector customers. 

The Nest Center has received grants to run its operation supporting the media sector from the IWMF (International Women in Media Foundation) in 2020 and EJN (Environmental Journalism Network) in 2021. The Nest Center has also provided social marketing advisor service to the Independent Authority Against Corruption, advising them on how to deliver messages to raise awareness on corruption efficiently to the public, to the National Gender Committee to help raise public awareness on gender stereotypes through legacy and social media. 

Another source of revenue for the Nest center was a market research conducted with support from People in Need Mongolia, a Mongolia branch of an international NGO. The study was themed "News Consumption Trends in Ulaanbaatar". 

The Nest Center aims to have all its operations - paid and not paid to best tailor for the needs of news consumers. 

These additions have also been made to the website's About us section available on this link: http://mfcc.mn/about-us.html

MFCC is a fact-checking unit of the legally registered NGO Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development, clearly outlined on its webpage.

However, no information details sources of revenue for MFCC and its parent organization Nest Center for Journalism Innovation. 

MFCC is a fact-checking unit of the legally registered NGO Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development, which financially supports its operations. To our request for more detailed information on its financial transparency, the applicant published on its webpage the revenue sources of its parent organization as:

-Grants: International Women in Media Foundation, Environmental Journalism Network;

-Media market research service: "News Consumption Trends in Ulaanbaatar" study conducted with support from People in Need Mongolia;

-Paid training for journalists;

-Social marketing advisor services: Independent Authority Against Corruption, National Gender Committee.

Even though it does not detail the values or percentage of each source of income, the information provided by the applicant seems accurate.

Readers can send us requests to have certain claims fact-checked at http://mfcc.mn/factcheck.html. 

This link is accessible to readers at the end of every fact-check posted on our website and at the top menu line on our website.  

MFCC provides various opportunities for readers to communicate with the editorial team:

1. “Our Team” section of the webpage mentions phone numbers, email addresses, and links to social media accounts of its editor and fact-checkers: http://mfcc.mn/team.html

2. There is a generic email address (info@mfcc.mn), phone number, office address, and social media links to the MFCC page on the footer of the website.

3. There is a “Request fact check” section at the top menu line of the webpage where readers can send requests to have specific claims verified by filling the simple form of the name, email address, and the link they want to be fact-checked with the brief description. As an applicant mentioned, this link also appears at the end of every fact-check published:

http://mfcc.mn/factcheck.html 

The policy can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html

In short, we choose claims to fact-check based on their importance and potential to influence reader's life and livelihoods, its reach and educational values. Wherever necessary, we state the reason why we chose to fact-check a certain claim. 

And we explain all the procedures we take when doing the fact-check in a way that can be replicated by the reader.

The applicant has provided a link to its Fact-Checking Process document, which gives a detailed description of its fact-checking methodology and procedure.

We state the reasons why we choose to fact-check a certain claim either at the beginning or at the end of each fact-check depending on the nature of the narrative. We choose the claims to fact-check depending on the importance, the importance and educational value of the topic in circulation. 

The reviewed fact checks demonstrate that the MFCC selects claims based primarily on the reach and importance of the claims. In many works, they do explain the reason for choosing the claim to check.

We state in our fact-checks all types of sources, the flow of events that has happened during the research, how it has changed or evolved and make the verdict by weighing the timeliness and rigor of the evidences and sources mentioned. 

The information provided by an applicant is accurate. The reviewed contents demonstrate that the MFCC consistently sets out in its fact checks relevant evidence that appears to support the claim and relevant evidence that appears to undermine it.

We examine each source official or unofficial with the same high standards. We try to use a tool or data or a report to validate each claim made by a human where possible by keeping in mind the limitations tools and reports may have. We also approach academic sources to get professional background on complex situations. 

The reviewed fact checks demonstrate that the applicant maintains a balanced, professional approach to different claims and sources. MFCC assesses the merits of the evidence found using the same high standards applied to evidence on equivalent claims, regardless of who made it.

First we check the sources the person who made the claim mentioned in his or her remarks when applicable and in cases the situation is complicated we contact with the person to make clarifications. 

In most cases, MFCC seeks to contact those who made the claim, provides their responses, mentions additional information obtained from them, explains if they fail to reply in their published fact checks. Even though most of the fact checks are based on the claims that appear online, on social media, the applicant verifies the reliability of the social media account that posted the claim and tries to reach for the supporting evidence.

However, there were few cases where those who made the claim did not have an opportunity to respond, to provide supporting evidence (or at least it was not appropriately explained if the applicant tried to reach): 

http://mfcc.mn/covid-post-15.html

http://mfcc.mn/blog-post-34.html

Also, especially when fact-checking content by local media (online news sites, their social media accounts, or social media accounts of local journalists), the applicant avoids contacting them. Here are some examples:

http://mfcc.mn/blog-post-36.html

http://mfcc.mn/blog-post-35.html

http://mfcc.mn/blog-post-32.html

http://mfcc.mn/covid-post-17.html

http://mfcc.mn/covid-post-13.html

The applicant, therefore, needs to work for consistency in commitment to contact those who made the claim to seek supporting evidence. 

What can be fact-checked and what can't be fact-checked are stated here: http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html

Our contact us page is here: http://mfcc.mn/factcheck.html

Readers are encouraged to contact us in as many ways as we can offer. All news reports are followed by a contact us and corrections policy note with a link to the contact us page. The page's link is also found at the top menu line on our website. 

There is a dedicated “Request Fact Check” page to invite readers to submit claims to fact-check by filling the simple form of the name, email address, and the link they want to be fact-checked with the brief description. This link can be found at the top menu line of its webpage and also at the end of every fact-check published:

http://mfcc.mn/factcheck.html 

The link provided by the applicant thoroughly explains what can be fact-checkable and how the editorial team selects claims to fact-check:

http://mfcc.mn/fcp.html 

Our corrections policy can be found here: http://mfcc.mn/cp.html

Complaints can be submitted on our contact us page and through a link forwarded at the foot of every fact-check. 

MFCC has a clear, precise corrections policy which appears on a specific page on its website, here:

http://mfcc.mn/cp.html 

Moreover, at the end of every fact check, the following information is provided for readers:

If you have any feedback, corrections, or other complaints related to our center's fact checks, please reach our editor by e-mail address dulamkhorloo.b@mfcc.mn.

Therefore, MFCC has a corrections policy that is easily accessible and referenced in every fact checks published.

The correction policy provides precise definitions of how major mistakes are handled, how the corrections and revisions are published, and that some complaints may justify no correction (though the person who complained will have a response from the editorial team).

There have been one request which we received through our Facebook Page before the launch of our website. We received the request, examined the situation and discovered that we made a mistake, accepted the request and published the correction on the Facebook Page. Regardless of the platform, we followed the same corrections policy. Evidence can be found from the attachment. 

We have not received any other corrections request since our establishment, and also on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MongolianFactCheckingCenter/posts/200977958216804

We have posted the corrected story accompanied with the corrections note on our website: http://mfcc.mn/covid-post-14.html

The applicant provides an example of a correction posted on its Facebook page, which happened before its website launch. The corrections note appears at the beginning of the fact check allowing users to see what precisely was corrected.

Does not apply. 

The corrections policy is stated on the mfcc.mn website on the following link: http://mfcc.mn/cp.html

And the parent company's pledge to adhere to the correction's policy is guaranteed by the order of Nest center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO's Chairman dated May 6th, 2020 attached here, on article 9. 

P.S: The parent company does not own a website. 

Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development, the parent media company of the MFCC, does not own a website. The applicant attached an official document of the order by its chairman, which says that the Nest center for Journalism Innovation and Development NGO approves and adheres to the correction policy for the MFCC.
