Reuters Fact Check, the news agency's fact-checking unit A sober check on claims that cross borders. Reuters had long worked on verifying images and video, but its dedicated fact-check unit launched in February 2020 as a partner in Facebook's US program, days after passing International Fact-Checking Network certification. Each piece sets out the claim and Reuters' verdict on it, which makes it easy to share with someone who distrusts partisan sites. Keep its origins in mind: the unit grew up checking English and Spanish posts on Facebook and Instagram, and Meta closed that US program in 2025.
