"The International Center for Journalists' (ICFJ) Disarming Disinformation initiative is a three-year program, supported by the Scripps Howard Foundation, that aims to slow the spread of disinformation through multiple programs such as investigative journalism, capacity building and media literacy education. ICFJ partnered with MediaWise from the Poynter Institute to develop and deliver media literacy programming. The media literacy training of trainers program accepted global participants for two different cohorts."
"Southern Brazil journalist Talita Rosa first encountered the phrase "fake news" in 2017, years before it entered everyday Brazilian conversation. That online course sparked her interest in fact-checking and later led her to launch "Prova Real," a pioneering verification project for the region. As a communications professional, Rosa quickly realized that countering mis- and disinformation would take more than just journalists; it demanded a fundamental shift in how communities understand and share information."
The International Center for Journalists' Disarming Disinformation initiative is a three-year program funded by the Scripps Howard Foundation that uses investigative journalism, capacity building, and media literacy education to slow disinformation. ICFJ partnered with MediaWise from the Poynter Institute to deliver a global training-of-trainers program across two cohorts. The program trained 27 trainers who have reached more than 3,200 people. Southern Brazil journalist Talita Rosa launched Prova Real after encountering "fake news" in 2017 and prioritized teaching practical verification skills using tools elderly residents already use, such as WhatsApp's built-in AI.
