File:PolitiFact to expand in 2024 at Poynter Times.png

The Tampa Bay Times - Poynter home of fact-checking pioneer, PolitiFact, is expanding its local coverage in January 2024. Good news, especially here 'on the home front', as GreenPolicy360's global network originates in Tampa Bay.

GreenPolicy360 has been following PolitiFact from its initial beginnings and, in fact, they have changed the national and international news business as their original idea and launch of a fact-checking news operation has grown into industry-wide fact checking around the world. The need for a focus on facts and evidence in these times of dis- and mis-information is an essential contribution that enables judgment, decision-making and democracy.

We at GreenPolicy360 are pleased to have shared the Poynter PolitiFact story and expansion of its 'best practices' networking model since its beginning. Poynter's PolitiFact and now over 100 participants in a global fact checking network are confronting an online proliferation of dis/misinformation, lies and political manipulation. Today and going forward, fact-checking operations play an increasingly essential role, delivering information, facts, opening eyes and bringing profoundly important veritas to people in every nation, community, market and political system.
