International Fact-Checking Day

April 2, Tuesday

The concept for International Fact-Checking Day was introduced at a conference for journalists and fact-checkers at the London School of Economics in June 2014. The holiday was officially created in 2016 and first celebrated on April 2, 2017.[96] The idea for International Fact-Checking day rose out of the many misinformation campaigns found on the internet, particularly social media sites.
