Reality Check: Fact or Fake
On Wednesday 28 May, we are organising an evening with journalists and fact-finders Eric Smit (Follow the Money) and Nina Zeelen (Cracking the Frame) about truth seeking in times of alternative facts and disinformation.
Eric Smit is co-founder of Follow the Money, where he also served as co-editor-in-chief until the end of 2023. Follow the Money is a platform for radically independent investigative journalism, with a clear mission: uncovering the truth in service of society. Whether it's about healthcare, the housing market, or politics — they are your watchdog. Eric Smit enjoys writing about white-collar criminals and their accomplices — because they undermine a just and open society.
Nina Zeelen is a journalist, economic analyst and policy advisor, who is dedicated to challenging dominant narratives and breaking the frames through which we understand economic, political, and social realities. She does this through various social media outlets such as her instagram account @crackingtheframe and on Bluesky
