Google “Fact check” for articles
Google has added the “Fact check” label to news articles, helping readers find fact checking in large news stories.
“Since we started labeling types of articles in Google News – like In-Depth, Opinion, and Wikipedia – we’ve heard that many readers enjoy having easy access to a diverse range of content types,” said Google.
“Earlier this year, we added a Local Source Tag to highlight local coverage of major stories. We’re adding another new tag, “Fact check.”
Users will see the tagged articles in the expanded story box on news.google.com and in the Google News and Weather iOS and Android apps.
“We also look for sites that follow the commonly-accepted criteria for fact checks. Publishers who would like to see it appear with the “Fact check” tag should use that markup in fact-check articles.”
