Public Newsroom 98: Fundamentals of Fact-Checking with South Side Weekly

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

What is fact-checking and how do you do it? Come learn how and why news organizations fact-check, how to identify the facts in a story, and what makes a good source. South Side Weekly Editor-in-Chief Adam Przybyl will guide you through the first part of the fact-checking process. Feel free to bring a story or excerpt from a book or podcast to see how it would be fact-checked. He’ll also talk about why learning to fact-check can improve your reporting process and help you write well-sourced stories. This workshop was developed for a South Side Weekly series of hands-on sessions on journalism basics, made possible by the PEN America Press Freedom Incentive Fund.
