Introduction to the role
In a world of generative AI and political spin, it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not. Bad information, whether used deliberately or accidentally, ruins lives. It promotes hate, damages people’s health, and hurts democracy.

2024 is a pivotal year for Full Fact. We will fact check the general election, reaching millions with impartial, independent information at a critical time, and raising our profile and impact.
