Vera Files (stylized as VERA Files) is a non-profit online news organization in the Philippines,[1][2] known for its institutionalized role in fact-checking false information in the Philippines,[3][4] and as one of the news organizations most prominently targeted by intimidation and censorship due to its critical coverage of the Philippine government.[5][6][7][8] It is part of the International Fact-Checking Network of the Poynter Institute[9]: 64 and is one of Facebook's two Philippine partners in its third-party fact-checking program.[10]
The organization was founded in March 2008 by six veteran Filipino journalists, focusing on investigative journalism and in-depth reporting of Philippine social issues.[1] According to its website, the organization specializes in producing "research-intensive and in-depth reports in multiple formats, and the training and mentoring of journalists, students and civil society organizations, especially those whose opportunities for capacity building are scarce."[11]
