Ahead of the general elections in India, Google supported the launch of the Shakti Fact-Checking Collective - a consortium of 50+ news publishers and fact checkers in India - and enabled them to work collaboratively. The effort helped in timely detection and debunking of online misinformation and deepfakes, and helped amplify fact checks in local languages benefitting millions of readers. This unprecedented and largest-ever editorial collaboration activated 67 new fact-check desks in 10 languages and trained 1,700+ journalists. It also resulted in a 180% increase in regional language fact checks and 78% reduction in publishing time for newsrooms. Here's what our partners had to say on Shakti.
