在印度尼西亚总统佐科和其竞争对手普拉博沃进行电视直播辩论之前，超过30名记者和查证员，打起精神紧盯着电脑。 他们也分成六组人，每组负责查证两位候选人在不同时段的发言。将近三小时的辩论，这批记者和查证员都不敢有丝毫松懈，因为他们努力实时核实候选人的评论、例如腐败的指控、国家穆斯林人口的统计数据、夸耀之词，或是个人轶事、谣言等。 他们和其他的查证员也将在来临的4月17日，在世界第三大民主国家选举前，进行打击假新闻和政治宣传。 由Mafindo和24新闻机构组成 路透社报导这支打击假新闻的民间队伍。这群选举监督员，担心假新闻所挑起种族和宗教矛盾，或影响选举结果，并导致社会陷入紧张局势。 Cekfakta（印尼语，意为 “核查事实” ）的倡议，是由当地非政府的事实查证组织Mafindo，和24个新闻媒体机构组成。 Cekfakta联合创始人兼Tempo.co新闻网站总编辑瓦育（Wahyu Dhyatmika），在回应路透社询问时指出， “现在有一个监督机构正在进行运作。作为一名候选人，不可以随便乱说话……我们会查核他们所说的是否符合事实” 。 路透社在3月的调查中发现，佐科和普拉博沃的竞选团队也聘请“打手”，利用虚假账号在社交媒体散布假消息，但是双方否认了。 和Mafindo一样获得谷歌新闻室资助的Cekfakta志愿者，在3月30日自美国科技巨头Swanky雅加达办事处接管有关的候选人辩论会。 瓦育希望，2014年选举时大量假新闻在社交媒体传出，令记者们无力招架的场面能够不再重演。当然也不希望有来自两位候选人的假消息。 为信息内容真实性而战 ...
