LEAST BIASED
These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources. See all Least Biased Sources.
- Overall, we rate Bolivia Verifica Least Biased based on a nonpartisan mission, IFCN adherence, and consistent methods-first presentation. We also rate it High for factual reporting due to its rigorous, published methodology, transparent corrections, and membership in the IFCN Code of Principles. However, donor transparency could be improved beyond the reference to the parent foundation.

History
Bolivia Verifica is a nonprofit fact-checking outlet launched on June 1, 2019, by the Foundation for Journalism (FPP). It focuses on debunking viral mis/disinformation, checking public claims, publishing explainers, and training journalists, emphasizing independence from political or religious affiliations and adherence to ethical standards and human rights frameworks.

Funded by / Ownership
Bolivia Verifica states it is a non-profit project of the Foundation for Journalism and “has no political or religious affiliation,” but it does not publish a detailed donor list on its site. It affirms compliance with the IFCN Code of Principles and its own public Methodology and Code of Ethics, including transparent procedures for corrections and rectifications.
Analysis / Bias
Content centers on evidence-based verification using documented protocols: sourcing originals, consulting official/alternative sources, contextualization, and rating outcomes as True/False/Deceptive/Unverifiable.
Example fact-checks include debunking a viral, fabricated statement attributed to ex-president Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga regarding freeing Arturo Murillo (rated false, with sourcing to party accounts and official pages).
Beyond claim checks, it addresses harmful narratives and hate speech (e.g., analysis of cyberbullying against Olympic boxer Imane Khelif with citations to IOC and legal actions).
The outlet explicitly follows the IFCN/Poynter standards and Chequeado’s verification method, lists editorial staff, and publishes a granular corrections policy—indicators of process transparency and minimal partisan framing.
Failed Fact Checks
