Election Check 24 is a project supported by the Google News Initiative, aimed at fighting misinformation during Ireland’s general election. Led by PA Media, Ireland’s national news agency, it brings together news publishers and TheJournal’s fact-checkers to ensure accurate information is available to the public. PA Media’s fact-checking team, which is recognized by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), runs this initiative to tackle false information and promote reliable news.
