事实核查已被确定为打击虚假信息的重要新闻工具。相关研究侧重于它作为新闻业内一场旨在更新职业的运动的兴起，以及它在挑战虚假信息方面的有效性，特别是在选举期间。然而，关于受众本身如何理解事实核查并将其应用于日常新闻消费的论述很少。在本文中，我们通过使用两组数据来回答这些问题。第一个包括在英国的14个焦点小组讨论，其中包括52名参与者，于2021年4月至5月在网上进行。第二项调查包括两项定性调查，探讨新闻消费者对事实核查的理解，以及他们对英国媒体在同一时期的事实核查做法的评价。我们的结论是，事实核查的使用在很大程度上仍然是边缘的，它在人们的新闻消费中的影响微乎其微。然而，人们有兴趣在电视新闻中进行更多的事实核查，以此作为一种让政客们承担责任并帮助公众更好地理解政治的方式。在这种背景下，我们认为，如果事实核查要在政治话语中发挥重要作用，它应该成为广播新闻的常规部分。
Fact-checking has been identified as a significant journalistic tool in the fight against disinformation. Relevant studies have focused on its emergence as a movement within journalism aiming at renewing the profession, as well as its effectiveness in challenging disinformation, especially during elections. However, little has been said about how audiences themselves understand fact-checking and employ it in their daily consumption of news. In this article, we answer these questions by drawing upon two sets of data. The first consists of fourteen focus group discussions in the UK, which included 52 participants, and were conducted online between April and May 2021. The second consists of two qualitative surveys that explored news consumers’ understandings of fact-checking and their evaluations of current fact-checking practices of UK media during the same period. We conclude that the use of fact-checking remains largely peripheral, and its influence is minimal in people’s news consumption. However, there is an appetite for more fact-checking in television news, as a way of holding politicians into account and helping the public better understand politics. In this context, we argue, if fact-checking is to play an important role in political discourse, it should become a regular part of broadcast journalism.
