COVID-19 Infodemics Observatory: FBK Global Reference For Infodemiology

The “Covid19 Infodemic Observatory” had such a resonance that it rapidly became a point of reference for monitoring fake news on a global level during the pandemic.
Manlio De Domenico and Pier Luigi Sacco were invited by the WHO (World Health Organization) to hold a technical webinar to describe the work carried out and introduce the tool created, and, subsequently, they were involved in the construction of a framework to contrast the fake news on the topic, through a collaboration agreement.
It has received wide and relevant media coverage on a global scale (New York Times science; UNDP; Nature; WHO; Tortoise; Prospct).
