“This publication is not just a compilation of the stories by journalists and other professionals debunking misinformation, it is also a narrative of the experiences of these people as part of an army raised to fight a war – against the scourge of misinformation, which can be as deadly as a virus like Corona. I believe that the book will be useful to practicing journalists, journalism students and teachers, researchers, verification experts, civil society organisations, and anyone interested in combatting misinformation
.” — Dayo Aiyetan, Executive Director ICIR
