Our Procedure

First off, according to our procedure for fact-checking material to help stop fake news in the media. We should correct the record rather than propagate more false information in an effort to battle fake news. Enhanced mechanisms for users to report content they believe to be fraudulent. Such mechanism can be filing a claim via email, WhatsApp, or any social networking site. We have a team that posts information to assist consumers in using media literacy to make better educated choices about sharing content they come across.

Use of Conventional Media

Conventional media are often the ones that face wrath for distributing news that is false or misused. In contrast, it is simpler to establish an anonymous account on digital media and publish dubious material or outright fake news to further one’s objective. Cameroon Check has a responsibility to criticize these sites and report the message or account in this situation.

We must emphasize how important media literacy and education are. The general people needs to utilize internet information with more discretion. Insofar as fake news is a tide, stopping it requires the collective action of millions of individual users, whose decisions about clicking and disseminating false information determine its spread. Platforms alone cannot solve the issue.

Public Trust

Construct reader trust. The organization’s reputation and, ultimately, its viability as a fact-checking organization depend on public trust. Establishing a culture of ethics, compliance, and integrity with a focus on journalism and high-quality content that supports accurate and thoroughly-verified information. Identifying potentially harmful fake news items by keeping an eye on content on news platforms, social media, and other interactive channels.
