Experience
In my PhD in Sociology, I did extensive research on the topic of fact-checking around the world that aims to identify and explain the global spread of fact-checking initiatives and the differences and similarities they have developed in various local contexts through a comparative perspective.
Conflict of Interest Statement
I carried out research on the folllowing fact-checking initiatives in particular: FactCheck Georgia, Pagella Politica, Chequeado, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, Washington Post. The relationships are purely academic in nature, and there are no conflicts of interest.
