Building verification work in a fact-checking desert

​

In markets like Mongolia, Myanmar, Cambodia and Timor Leste, fact-checking has not yet been as established as in other parts of Asia. In Mongolia, the word 'misinformation' doesn't even exist! In this session, we explore the challenges fact-checkers face, from a lack of terminology, reliance on word-of-mouth and speak to fact-checkers working on ground to learn about creative and innovative ways to establish fact-checking in their circumstances.
