Truth should too.
A fact-checking platform built for a generation that gets its news from literally everywhere.
What is MTL?
Media TruthLab (MTL) is a digital fact checking and media verification platform built for a generation that gets its news from literally everywhere.
Headlines. Reels. Screenshots. Breaking news. Viral posts.
Before you share it.
Check it.
MTL helps you verify news headlines and viral claims using research, reliable sources, AI-assisted analysis and human editorial verification.
Our Vision
A more informed tomorrow.
We believe fact checking should be simple, accessible and part of how we consume information.
MTL brings headline verification, fact checking, reliable sources and human verification together in one place.
Our work follows the core principles of the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) Code of Principles — including fairness, transparency of sources, transparent methodology and open corrections.
What We Do
Check a Headline
Seen something that doesn't feel right?
Copy. Paste. Check.
Enter a headline into MTL and get a detailed fact check report with the assessment, context and sources behind it.
No endless searching. No ten tabs open. Just check it.
Explore Latest Fact Checks
Nothing specific to check?
Explore viral claims, trending news and potentially misleading information that has already been investigated.
See the claim. See the evidence. See the sources. And see what we found.
AI Assisted. Human Verified.
We use AI to help research, analyse and compare information quickly. But AI can make mistakes — that is why human verification matters.
Our editorial team reviews every fact check before it is marked as verified.
Every report gets its own unique QR code. When a claim travels, its verification travels with it.
Why MTL?
Information is everywhere. Knowing what to trust is the hard part.
It can be misleading.
Or it can leave out the one detail that changes everything.
Fact checking is not just about asking true or false. It is about looking at the claim, evidence, sources and context behind the story.
We are not here to tell you what to think. We are here to help you check.
