At Newschecker, it is our aim to limit and crackdown the spread of fake news in society. We bring out the truth by examining the statements and claims made by public figures, personalities, media, and users on social media. We want to make people aware by exposing the hidden agenda, propaganda or intention behind disinformation.

Our mission is an unbiased one. We’re loyal to neither people nor parties but the truth alone. And while the fact-checking industry continues to grow, there are still countless assertions that go unchecked. We exist to fill in the gaps.
