#RwandaDecides: Three things Africa Check is learning about facts, elections, and journalism in Rwanda
It's not every day that media players in Rwanda seek out Africa Check's expertise to help them do hard-nosed fact-checking journalism, especially with the elections
"Quite often, we see wrong information written about Rwanda including by some of the most respected media houses. And because they have a much wider reach, their reports are taken for truth," Kimenyi told me after we met in Kigali."We will begin with elections and expand to other important topics such as health, environment, the economy, and climate change, giving reliable information to fuel sustainable development," Kagire said.
Emmanuel said the dynamism in the peddling of false information meant that journalists needed to evolve and find better ways and tools.
