✅ Fact-Checking
Citizen fact-checking in the age of disinformation. Parti built Korea’s first crowdsourced fact-checking platform with citizen participation and operates a community where citizens themselves become fact-checkers, building truth together. Beyond after-the-fact verification, Parti is developing proactive responses that track the circulation paths of disinformation.

4. K.F.C. Citizen Fact-Checkers Community
✅ Implemented

Korean Fact-Checkers Community. A community Parti operates where citizens themselves work as fact-checkers — learning, verifying, and growing together. A pioneering case in Korea that moved beyond expert-institution-centered fact-checking toward a citizen-participation model.
5. Citizen Fact-Check Education & Training
✅ Implemented
Education and training programs Parti runs to help citizens grow into fact-checkers. Systematic learning covers information verification methods, source-checking techniques, and fact-check writing.
6. FactCheck.net (Former Initiative)
✅ Implemented
⭐ Parti Original
The first crowdsourced fact-checking platform in Korea, operated 2021–2023 with Parti as co-chair. Introduced a collaborative model where journalists, experts, and citizens fact-check together, making decisive contributions to building Korea’s fact-checking ecosystem.
Connection & International
Collaboration with domestic and international fact-checking ecosystems.
7. IFCN Global Fact-Checking Fund (Build Support)
✅ Implemented

Future Directions
The next challenges in the age of disinformation.
9. Disinformation Pathway Tracking & Proactive Alert
⬜ Future Direction
A system that tracks how disinformation is created, what paths it travels along, and how it mutates across communities. A proactive response model that goes beyond after-the-fact verification to identify disinformation propagation paths in advance and alert citizens.
10. AI-Assisted Fact-Checking
⬜ Future Direction
AI tools that assist fact-checkers in their verification work. AI automates evidence search, source verification, and similar-case recommendations, reducing the workload of citizen fact-checkers. The direction is AI assisting citizens’ verdicts, not AI making verdicts. (Also covered in Category 11, AI & Future Technology.)
11. Fact-Check Impact Tracking
⬜ Future Direction
Automatic tracking and visualization of fact-check impact — how widely verified information spreads, whether the spread of original disinformation declines — to make fact-checking effects visible.
