About this channel
What the channel posts
Newtral is a Spanish outlet specialising in fact-checking, and this official channel shares its content in Spanish. Many posts examine viral material: videos presented out of context, fake statements shared on messaging apps and screenshots of articles that do not exist. Each check sets out what is circulating and where, then presents the evidence found and the verdict.
The channel also checks statements by politicians and figures used in public debate, explaining what they actually measure. Finally, it publishes data-driven explainers, for instance on urban heat or how services are spread across the country, along with scam alerts. Several stories start from questions readers send to the outlet’s fact-checking service. The pace is one to three posts a day.
Who it is for
It is useful for anyone who wants to verify a piece of information before sharing it, and more broadly for readers curious about how a rumour takes shape.
Good to know
Posts are fairly detailed and can be read directly in Telegram, with the option to learn more on the outlet’s website. Recent news from Spain takes up most of the space.
