Chequeado's 15th anniversary

In this anniversary year—when disinformation spread faster, hit harder emotionally, and became more difficult to detect—we sought to offer clarity amid the noise.

Through fact-checking, education, and civic technology, we worked to ensure that people can make informed decisions in an environment that changes without warning. We provided reliable content, in-depth investigations, new formats, resources, and tools, while strengthening our engagement with the education community to confront disinformation and the growing crisis of trust.

With collaboration as our guiding principle and an honest public conversation as our goal, we moved through 2025 with projects that inspired us at every step.
