ZAPORIZHZHIA - This project involves the development of a dedicated fact-checking series designed to expose and counter Russian disinformation targeting residents of Zaporizhzhia. It will strengthen media literacy and lay the groundwork for a sustainable format that our team can use beyond the grant period.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

"Fact Check Zaporizhzhia" is a two-month editorial project by Inform.zp.ua in response to the urgent need for accurate, verified information in a region heavily impacted by Russian propaganda. The project involves creating over eight fact-checking articles, over ten social media visuals, and short videos to debunk false narratives prevalent in frontline and occupied areas. The project also pilots a branded format and a methodology driven by feedback, which we intend to sustain and expand in order to strengthen local information resilience in a high-risk media environment.

GOALS

  • Publish at least eight fact-checking articles that address disinformation trends.
  • Produce at least 10 visuals and short videos for sharing online.
  • Create a prototype format with tools that measure audience engagement.
  • Reach at least 50,000 people in frontline communities across social platforms.
  • Create a long-term content framework and editorial roadmap for continued use after the grant ends.
