Fact Check: Ahead of presidential debates, election PolitiFact unveils new homepage

The 2024 election season is intensifying. And to improve access to our stories and fact-checks, we at PolitiFact have upgraded our homepage with several new sections and features.

First, for greater visibility, we’ve switched from a list format to a library view for both fact-checks and stories. 

For quick navigation to trending topics, we created tabs right under our featured story —  Latest Articles, Fact-Checks, Debunking Misinformation, Election 2024 and Biden Promises. These tabs’ topics may change as trends shift, but will present our newest, most useful information in the most accessible way.

To further highlight our work to debunk falsehoods, particularly ones we find on Facebook, part of Meta and TikTok, with which we have partnerships, we’ve created an eight-story section for trending disinformation.

To track newsmakers, we’ve updated our “people” section. Right now, it features President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.; this list will shift as the presidential race further unfolds. 

Finally, we’ve included an easy-access gateway to support our work by joining the Truth Squad, both at the top and bottom of the website.

At the top of our site, you’ll see an option to toggle to “Español.” There, you’ll find a similar homepage of our Spanish-language fact-checks and stories.
