again distinguished.
The Newsguard start-up ranked our site second in its annual ranking of the most reliable news sites with the most engagement on social networks.
The Actu.fr site, owned by a subsidiary of the Sipa Ouest-France group, which is also a shareholder of
20 Minutes
, won first position this year.
The RFI radio site comes in third place.
Newsguard, a start-up that assesses the credibility of news and current affairs sites in six countries, also looked at the "most influential misinformators".
The EpochTimes site comes first.
EpochTimes is “a right-wing media network opposed to the Chinese Communist government that has relayed false and misleading claims about COVID-19 and other topics,” Newsguard details.
France Soir and the media in 442 come second and third.
“Fake news” about the war in Ukraine or the Covid-19
Newsguard evaluated French-language sites on nine credibility and transparency criteria.
The start-up identified sites that posted “repeatedly misleading information and generated the most social media engagement in 2022.”
Complete this classification, tvl, planets 360, the mail of the strategists, the evening mail, the French version of RT, and finally the rebellious sheep and eels under rock.
The war in Ukraine, the Covid-19 and the presidential election were subjects targeted by false information in 2022, underlines the start-up.
