Polygraph.info was launched in 2014 as a joint project between the U.S. government-funded Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). The idea behind the website was to create a platform that would fact-check claims and statements made by public figures, governments, and the media, with the goal of promoting truth and accountability in public discourse. Polygraph.info is currently owned and operated by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the federal agency that oversees VOA and RFE/RL. Based in Washington, D.C., Polygraph.info covers a wide range of topics, including politics, international affairs, science, and technology. While the website's primary focus is on fact-checking and debunking misinformation, it also provides in-depth reporting and analysis on current events and issues of global significance. Polygraph.info's team of journalists and researchers work to verify claims, provide context, and present factual information to readers, regardless of the political or ideological affiliations of the sources being examined. One interesting fact: Polygraph.info has a unique approach to fact-checking that involves a collaborative effort between its team and a network of international partners, including other media organizations, academic institutions, and civil society groups. This allows the website to draw on a diverse range of expertise and resources to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its fact-checks, which are often cited by other news outlets and policymakers.
