Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the content and structure of the Comprova Project, a website specialized in fact-checking, based on the concept of collaboration and cooperativism. The research had as theoretical support the studies on journalistic information, eedisinformation, post-truth, information-checking journalism and collaboration and cooperativism and made use of non-participant observation, content analysis, interview and case study to carry out the collection of data. It was noticed that Comprova fits as a collaborative and cooperative fact-checking project, as it encompasses several communication vehicles and they interact with each other in favor of fact-checking journalism. It was possible to verify that the concepts of collaboration and cooperativism are present in the Comprova methodology itself. Tasks are divided collectively and everything is done as a group, from choosing the event and being verified to publishing the finished text. prova seeks to carry out several interactive activities among its members, strengthening fact-checking and journalistic practice in Brazil.
