        abstract = {In an era characterized by rapid information dissemination and the pervasive threat of misinformation, establishing a robust fact-checking ecosystem is essential for safeguarding democratic processes and societal integrity. This research proposal aims to explore the systemic integration of fact-checking processes and procedures as a proactive approach to counter information warfare at the state or national level. By investigating the roles of various stakeholders—including media organizations, technology companies, and governmental bodies—this study seeks to develop a comprehensive framework that enhances the efficacy of fact-checking initiatives. The findings will contribute to understanding how a cohesive ecosystem can mitigate the adverse effects of misinformation and strengthen public trust in information sources.},
