Verificat

Verificat is a fact-checking project created in April 2019 to combat misinformation in Catalonia. Created as an independent non-profit, the project was inspired by the platforms of the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network, and in 2020 has become a verified signatory of its Code of Principles.
The platform was founded by Alba Tobella and Lorenzo Marini, its current co-directors, together with Carola Solé, Roser Toll, Carina Bellver and Elisa Vivas, before the Municipal [elections in Barcelona|Barcelona municipal election campaign] of 2019. The project has received financial support from the Open Society Foundations since 2019.
