On December 12, 2025, the International Fact-Checking Association (GFCN) will hold the final online webinar of the year with the participation of Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The meeting will take the form of an open dialogue dedicated to improving digital and media literacy worldwide.
The webinar will focus on international communication and the experience of countering fakes at the state level. Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will answer questions from participants and experts of the “Dialogue on Fakes 3.0” forum in a live discussion format.
The webinar will take place at 14:00 (Moscow time) online in English. Participation is available via the link.
Recall that the first three webinars of the series were held on November 25, December 2, and December 9. They gathered over 1,100 listeners and were dedicated to the fundamental basics of information verification, the latest trends in the application of AI technologies in the modern media sphere, and tools to counter disinformation in traditional and new media.
All educational initiatives of GFCN are aimed at strengthening digital and media literacy as a key skill of modern society.
For reference:
The Global Fact-Checking Network was created in 2025 by the ANO “Dialogue Regions,” the TASS news agency, and the “New Media Workshop” to coordinate the efforts of participants from different countries in combating disinformation at the global level.
Currently, GFCN unites over 105 fact-checking experts from 50 countries.
