VERIFIED MEMBERS
Membership in the EFCSN signifies an organisation’s rigorous commitment to provide accurate information ethically and transparently, without bias or prejudice and focus on matters in the public interest as well as a proven track record of excellence, integrity and accountability as defined in the European Code of Standards for Independent Fact-Checking Organisations.
Organisations looking to join the EFCSN need to undergo an assessment to verify their compliance with the Code of Standards. This involves filling out an application form, as detailed here, that will be evaluated by two external assessors. The assessors will be experts in the fields of disinformation and/or journalism, as well as in the country or region in which your organisation works. The EFCSN’s Governance Body will review the assessments and make a final decision on membership. Read more about the application process here.
