Multiple posts inviting the public to apply for a LandBank scholarship have been shared again on Facebook last month. One such post on June 23 had generated
5,600 reactions and 23,000 shares as of June 28.against “scammers lurking online offering fake LANDBANK scholarships.” It said the bank only has one official scholarship program, the Iskolar ng LANDBANK Program or ILP.
The fake posts provided a link that web browser Firefox has blocked as a “deceptive site,” as it may lead the user into doing “something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards.” As independent journalists, our primordial duty is to tell the truth and present facts to help the public discern issues and concerns impacting their lives.– if the claim contradicts, undermines or disputes truthful facts, actual events and official records – if the claim is based on truth but maliciously twisted that gives a different impression to serve a group or individual’s vested interests.
Prior to the PFCI project, MindaNews co-founded Tsek.ph, a collaboration among Philippine media institutions to fight disinformation and misinformation during the 2019. Tsek.ph did the same thing for the 2022 elections.MindaNews has sustained its operation through proceeds from subscriptions of its news service and sales of books. It also receives grants from non-state actors. Editorial prerogative, however, is left entirely to MindaNews.
Our fact checks include this paragraph encouraging readers to be part of the process: “As with all our other reports, MindaNews welcomes leads or suggestions from the public to potential fact check pieces.”As a news organization, we strictly adhere to accuracy, fairness, balance, independence, accountability and transparency not just in our fact-checking initiative but in all other aspects of our work at MindaNews.
Step 2: When a claim is worth fact-checking, a team member looks for multiple sources to dispute the claim, including tracing the original source document.
