How many fact-checking organizations does it take to change the proverbial fake news lightbulb? Elon Musk thinks we need at least one more. But maybe more like a popularity contest than a fact check, with journalists and institutions competing for credibility ratings. Emily and Heather ask what is the point in the dozens of recently launched fact-checking initiatives, and the director of Poynter’s international fact-checking network Alexios Mantzarlis provides them with answers.
