The year we did much more than fact-checks







Checked promises

For the first time in Argentina, we evaluated the degree of fulfilment of the promises made by the President during electoral campaign, and we took the results to Plaza de Mayo.

Investigative Journalism

We produced 17 reports on key topics that are not covered by the media. And we did it with innovative formats: gifs, videos and visualizations. Five of these were produced in different cities thanks to local participation.

Live Fact-checking

As every March 1, we collectively live fact-checked the president's statements during his speech at Congress opening session and published 25 articles on it.

Education

1500

Journalists

and professional communicators took part in our educational activities.

2200

Teenagers

received content specially created by Chequeado.

Research

Chequeado and UDESA: We investigated together to what extent we know how to differentiate facts and data from opinions and biases and how we could learn to do so. Link to paper | Link to project

Chequeado+ The future of debate

We trained 1200 teenagers so they could debate relying upon data and facts. We created and implemented the first fact-checking and data journalism module in United Nations and Legislative Models.

Gender and Bicentennial specials

We published a series of articles on different topics related to gender issues. Besides that, in occasion of the 200 years of Independence we did a special containing data from the time.

Innovation Lab

Our lab is where we experiment. We develop new products and formats to reach more people and get the community more involved, while we measure everything.

#LatamChequea & #GlobalFact

We met journalists and editors from 20 media from 14 countries in the region that have fact-checking projects. And, for the very first time, Argentina hosted more than 100 participants from all over the world that came to the global network meeting.

Awards

Hackatons + Justiciapedia

We worked even more with our community. We held five hackathons in Córdoba, La Plata, Mendoza, Rosario y Buenos Aires, to produce exclusive investigations, and a sixth one focused in Justiciapedia, to expand its judges, lawyers and prosecutors' profiles data base.

Sustainability


Media

For the first time we had a regular column on TV on La Nación PM (La Nación +) and 50 minutos (C5N/Canal 26). We also had presence in Continental, Del Plata, La Nación, Nacional, Radio 10 and Rock & Pop.

Team

We expanded and strengthened our team in every area, with new young professional profiles.
