- This 111-page monograph is based on a systematic content analysis of fact-checking articles and their promotion on the fact-checkers’ official Twitter accounts, and a political discourse (or argumentation) analysis of the extent to which politicians were challenged on problematic claims in the mainstream news media debates on three key campaign issues. The dataset comprises all 176 articles and 232 tweets from the three main fact-checking organisations in the UK during the campaign period, and transcription of 49 news items from corresponding broadcast news (selected from 191 collected from online catch-up services using screen-capture software), plus the two set-piece televised debates.
