As misinformation spreads across social media and beyond, the Maine Trust for Local News is combating false narratives with “Fact Briefs” — 150-word, yes-or-no explainers that have quickly become some of its most-read stories.
The Maine Trust for Local News started publishing two briefs a week in May, and they have ranked among its best-read items, with more than 160,000 page views and 200,000 readers in about 10 months.
Fact Briefs are an editorial product developed by Gigafact, a nonprofit that works with newsrooms to identify and respond to misinformation, claims and rumors circulating on social media platforms.
