Summary: AFP is a global news agency that worked with First Draft to implement the CrossCheck Project during the 2017 French presidential elections. The organization has since started its own fact-checking blog and helped set up the Journalism Trust Initiative with Reporters Without Borders, the European Broadcasting Union, and the Global Editors Network. AFP is one of Facebook's Third-Party Fact-Checkers. AFP also runs a Medialab, where it develops innovative tools for verifying content and understanding information flows.
