On the Faroe Islands, two journalists are breaking new ground. After joining Fojo\u2019s fact-checking training, Elin and Georg from Kringvarp F\u00e6roya introduced fact-checking to their newsroom colleagues for the very first time.<\/p>

Together with Factiverse and the University of the Faroe Islands, they are developing a prototype AI language model in Faroese \u2013 a tool designed to help journalists live fact-check political debates in \u201cTingi\u00f0\u201d, the Faroese parliament.<\/p>

This is about more than technology. Building a Faroese language model is an identity issue: a way to ensure that democracy, journalism and the Faroese language itself can thrive in the digital age. Their goal is clear \u2013 to have a working tool ready ahead of the 2026 elections.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After fleeing the war in Ukraine, journalist Svitlana rebuilt her career in Finland. Her background gives her a unique lens on how Russian narratives seep into Finnish mainstream media.<\/p>

In her investigation, Svitlana has traced recurring propaganda themes \u2014 from distorted portrayals of Ukrainian identity to attempts to divide Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking communities. She has also uncovered signs that a Finnish journalist may be in close contact with Russian media under an alias.<\/p>

Her work raises pressing questions: How much are our media landscapes influenced by hidden narratives? And what can journalists do to expose them?<\/p>

Svitlana\u2019s investigation continues \u2014 shedding light on the subtle ways disinformation crosses borders and shapes public debate.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How can journalists keep up with today\u2019s fast news cycle and still verify every claim? At Jyllandsposten in Denmark, a new solution is being tested \u2013 in collaboration with Norwegian start-up Factiverse.<\/p>

Together, they are developing an AI-powered fact-checking tool built directly into the newsroom\u2019s editorial workflow. Journalists can send their text to Factiverse, which instantly highlights questionable claims and suggests reliable sources that confirm or challenge them.<\/p>

This collaboration shows how cross-border innovation can support journalists under pressure \u2013 making reporting both faster and more trustworthy.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gender-based disinformation is a growing threat to women in journalism \u2013 from manipulated images to coordinated online harassment. Too often, those who report on these issues feel isolated and targeted.<\/p>

To break this pattern, Siri (Denmark), Olha (Ukraine) and Julia (Sweden) joined forces in an international project guided by journalist and author Jonathan Lundberg. By studying different cases they identified common patterns and worked on developing strategies to counter gender-based disinformation.<\/p>

Their collaboration shows the strength of working across borders: journalists can learn from each other, see bigger trends by adding a wider perspective and inspire new ways of tackling one of journalism\u2019s most pressing challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
