United Facts of America

Официальное приложение United Facts of America: фестиваль проверки фактов.

The nonprofit Poynter Institute and its Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking site PolitiFact will present the second annual “United Facts of America: A festival of fact-checking” Sept. 27-29, 2022. 

The online celebration of facts will broadcast live from Washington, D.C., and feature three forward-thinking days about the role of facts in everyday American life with special focus on topics like disinformation campaigns, election security, inflation, climate change, the Jan. 6 committee hearings, gun laws and the Supreme Court. 

Each day, members of Poynter and PolitiFact’s teaching, reporting and executive teams will facilitate enlightening conversations to shed light on the country’s most pressing issues and help voters prepare to cast their midterm votes with facts. 

Diverse panels of experts in media, politics, health care and technology will share their unique perspectives and explore collaborative solutions for a fact-based future that support democratic process and participation. 

The online festival is for everyone interested in fact-based expression, civic engagement and the role of facts in a free society. Tickets can be purchased at unitedfactsofamerica.com.
