In addition to our high-quality fact checks in our live coverage, we’ll be flagging rumor alerts as they happen. Basically, a warning light to tread carefully as we do more research.
We’re also going to try something else new: Night shifts all this week, to make sure we catch the rumors and disinformation campaigns that often pop up after hours.
