Meet Five Journalists From ICFJ's Global Network

During the ICFJ Tribute to Journalists 2022 on November 10, five members of the ICFJ network who were watching the event online were spotlighted by ICFJ President Sharon Moshavi during the awards broadcast. “... you and all of the journalists you represent are the reason we all are here,” Moshavi said. The five journalists, Ankita Mukhopadhyay, Cley Medeiros, Ahmed Elsheikh, Mady Camara and Kharla Pimentel, hail from news organizations and countries around the world, reflecting ICFJ’s vast network of journalists. 

How to Determine Who's Funding Online Ads Linked to Disinformation

Websites that facilitate disinformation often employ a combination of revenue sources. By pinpointing streams of profit, journalists can find the players and trace the networks responsible for funding false content online. Identifying those who perpetuate disinformation is integral to debunking lies and uncovering the truth.

Fighting Disinformation in the U.S. and Beyond

At ICFJ, we have long worked to help journalists fight the scourge of rampant disinformation in countries from Brazil to India to Nigeria. The prevalence of falsehoods during the recent U.S. midterm elections is the latest reminder why that work is just as vital in our own backyard.

We have responded to the need with programs to fight the tide of disinformation in U.S. Spanish-speaking audiences and to amplify trustworthy sources in coverage of everything from the New Mexico governor’s race to Tuesday’s Georgia Senate runoff.

We can’t do this important work without your support, and we invite you to consider making a contribution to ICFJ as we approach the end of the year.
