Fact-Checkers on the Fringe: Investigating Methods and Practices Associated With Contested Areas of Fact-Checking by Silvia Montaña-Niño, Victoria Vziatysheva, Ehsan Dehghan, Anand Badola, Guangnan Zhu, Otávio Vinhas, Michelle Riedlinger, Sofya Glazunova

“…In addition to identifying how fringe fact-checkers weaponize fact-checking practices and exploit or mimic the social standing of accredited fact-checkers, we critique examples where state-supported fact-checkers associated with authoritarian governance structures fact-check for national interests. We propose a spectrum of fact-checkers including those where public or general interest fact-checkers follow journalistic ideals and align with accredited communities of practice or non-accredited peer recognition, and a collection of fringe fact-checkers ranging from “special interest” actors promoting specific political agendas to hostile actors with disruptive, destructive, and openly propagandistic interests and aims to destabilize the global public sphere. …”
