错误信息已发展成为严重的社会威胁,可能导致灾难性的社会后果。尽管事实核查在打击错误信息方面发挥着关键作用,但对专业事实核查人员的工作实践进行实证调查的研究相对较少。为了弥补这一差距,我们对来自 19 个国家的 21 名事实核查人员进行了半结构化访谈。参与者报告说,他们被大量信息淹没,需要在事实核查之前进行过滤和优先排序。采访揭示了一系列分散在缺乏集成的不同工具中的实践。重要的是,事实核查人员缺乏有效的机制来传播他们的努力成果,这阻碍了他们的工作充分发挥其潜在影响。我们发现,当前的事实核查实践主要是手工和劳动密集型的,这是规模化的障碍。我们应用这些发现提出了一些建议,可以提高事实核查工作及其结果的有效性、效率、规模和范围。
Misinformation has developed into a critical societal threat that can lead to disastrous societal consequences. Although fact-checking plays a key role in combating misinformation, relatively little research has empirically investigated work practices of professional fact-checkers. To address this gap, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 fact-checkers from 19 countries. The participants reported being inundated with information that needs filtering and prioritizing prior to fact-checking. The interviews surfaced a pipeline of practices fragmented across disparate tools that lack integration. Importantly, fact-checkers lack effective mechanisms for disseminating the outcomes of their efforts which prevents their work from fully achieving its potential impact. We found that the largely manual and labor intensive nature of current fact-checking practices is a barrier to scale. We apply these findings to propose a number of suggestions that can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, scale, and reach of fact-checking work and its outcomes.
