The Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union (RACSU) organized its first fact-checking training workshop at the university’s Senate Building on Sunday afternoon. The event, arranged by RACSU’s Media and Publication Division, aimed to raise awareness about verifying information and countering misinformation. Around 300 students participated, and certificates were distributed at the end of the session. Kaduruddin Shishir, editor of investigative outlet The Descent, conducted the training, providing hands-on instruction on fact-checking techniques, verification methods, and identifying digital misinformation.
During the workshop, Shishir emphasized analyzing websites and visit data to identify sources spreading false information and warned against politically biased media. He also advised caution with emotionally charged news related to religion, surveys, conflict, and nationalism, noting that such topics often spread falsehoods. RACSU leaders, including Media and Publication Secretary Mujahid Islam and Vice President Mostakur Rahman Zahid, highlighted the importance of verifying information before sharing and praised the students’ active participation.
The event was attended by Rajshahi University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Dr. Mohammad Main Uddin as chief guest, along with RACSU executives and representatives from various campus journalist organizations.
