“Globally, we expect there to be even more interest in the election than ever before. Journalistically, we will approach it in the same way that we always have, by holding the two candidates and their campaigns to account. That includes scrutinizing their policies and fact-checking their statements in addition to covering the news as it unfolds for global audiences. We will put extra efforts into the fact-checking work this time around too!“
