Portraits of a Visionary: AFP News on Establishing Best Practices

A vignette of AFP’s mission to share online investigation skills.

Portraits of a Visionary is a social series from The Lovie Awards that shares vignettes of the people, culture and ideas behind award-winning work—made in partnership with Finland-based agency 20/20 Helsinki.

Our third edition explores how global news agency AFP uses video to teach about debunking misinformation.

Paris-based AFP Fact Check is a resource hub to help journalists verify information found online. Their video project earned a Bronze and People’s Lovie Award in Science, Education & Discovery. Hear from Natalie Handel and Sophie Nicholson from AFP’s fact-checking department on their creative approach to making videos to demonstrate their online sleuthing.
