La Fundación Maldita.es launches the Network of Local Journalists Against Climate Disinformation.

This initiative, supported by Journalismfund Europe, aims to expand journalists’ knowledge of climate- and environment-related disinformation and to launch a network that will improve the identification of potential hoaxes and increase the reach of the content they produce.

In this first phase, journalists from Aragon, the Valencian Community, Galicia, the Region of Murcia, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Catalonia, Asturias and the Canary Islands took part in training that provided them with knowledge and practical tools to counter climate disinformation narratives through their respective media outlets.

These sessions facilitated the exchange of experiences among professionals and encouraged the creation of a nationwide collaboration network, with the aim of identifying and addressing climate disinformation in their journalistic work.

With the participation of media outlets such as Huelva Televisión, Cadena SER Albacete, Canal Sur, Diario Información, Canal Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha Media and RTPA, among others, this network is established as an initiative designed to support local journalists in Spain in their work against climate disinformation and to facilitate public access to reliable, evidence-based information.
