Live Media Tracker

The Media Tracker scans Twitter and automatically highlights potential COVID misinformation that may require further fact checking - especially in the context of covid-19 vaccine and other treatments. The Media Tracker relies on natural language processing algorithms that have been trained using custom data which has been annotated by experts, journalists and advocacy groups.

Please send us your questions, comments and claims for fact-check using the Submit a Question form.

Checkworthiness:

This score is an estimation of how important it would be for a professional fact-checker to manually check the claim made in the tweet. We take into account whether the tweet contains a verifiable factual claim, whether the claim appears to contain false information, whether it is of general interest, and whether it is harmful.
