Polygraph.info is a fact-checking website[1] produced by Voice of America (VoA).[2] Among many subjects, the website documents Russian disinformation and state-backed propaganda by the Chinese government.[3]

The site launched on December 6, 2016.[4] Radio Free Europe funded a three person team at Polygraph.info until February 2017. The team was led by Daily Beast senior editor Michael Weiss.[5]

According to a 2018 article in Government Executive, by providing fact-checks in both English and Russian VOA "builds on the success of its year-old Russian-language television network Current Time TV... [which is] 24/7 programming to counter Russian disinformation and Iranian censorship."[6]

As of April 8, 2020, the project employed five people.[7] VoA journalist Jim Fry was its managing editor from November 2017 to November 2019.[8] Investigative journalist, researcher and Russian expert Fatima Tlisova also works at Polygraph.info.[9]: 76–77 

A partner website in the Russian language is factograph.info, a joint project of RFE/RL and VoA.[10]

It's been a year since the U.S. government joined the ranks of Politifact, Factcheck.org and the Washington Post fact-checker in publishing dispassionate news analysis in the decisive ratings format: "true," "false," or "misleading." But its product—amplified in government-controlled foreign media environments through social media and video—focuses on what is now called 'disinfo news.'
