Abstract

This is a dataset of fact-checking worldwide initiatives after checking the last activity of each site from 2 databases: <i>Duke Reporters' Lab</i> and the <i>International Fact-Checking Network </i>at <i>Poynter Institute</i>. We obtained that there are 135 platforms with activity in the last 3 months. This is the sample used for different research works from the Novos Medios research group at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain).<br><br>
