Checking Facts: FAU Researchers Verify Information in ZDF Election Shows

As part of the ZDF election shows on February 13th and 20th, Prof. Dr. Petra Bendel and the MFI team will conduct fact-checking on topics related to migration, displacement, and integration. This process takes place in close collaboration with the ZDF editorial team, which either commissions specific requests during the broadcast or relies on information that the MFI team identifies as relevant for verification. In preparation, the team has compiled comprehensive briefings on key topics and sources to ensure that facts are presented concisely and accurately, without oversimplification.

A conversation with Prof. Dr. Petra Bendel on the fact-checking process – along with further information – can be found here (in German).
