About Me
I am Alan Duke, cofounder and editor in chief of Lead Stories. We are a global fact-checking organization operating in 21 languages with a focus on false claims and trends on social media platforms. We also develop tools used by journalists around the world, including our patented Trendolizer technology. I started Lead Stories in 2015 after a 26-year career at CNN. My goal was to address challenges arising from social media's increasing domination of the distribution and consumption of information.
