At Maldita.es we believe that education, Media Literacy, and the promotion of critical thinking are fundamental in the fight against disinformation. That’s why we make resources available to the public, such as the Verification Toolbox to learn how to verify or a Resource Repository with infographics, videos, games, or educational sheets. We also offer a Master’s Degree in Investigative Journalism, and through Maldita Educa, we provide courses and workshops for all audiences.
