WHAT WE DO
First
We ask thousands of fact questions
to the public in many countries...
...to see what people think the world looks like
based on the news stories they see.
Then
we check the data...
from the UN and other reliable sources...
to identify the most common misconceptions
where peoples' ideas differ most from reality.
