In Southwest Detroit, you’ll usually find a bustling main street with dozens of Latino-owned businesses. But on a recent weeknight, the barbershops, nail salons, restaurants, tiendas, and bakeries typically buzzing with life after long days of work and school felt eerily empty. @outliermedia.org

When Detroit journalist @martinaguzman.bsky.social learned that foreign agents bought airtime on U.S. stations, she looked for a tool that would monitor their broadcasts for misinformation. When she couldn’t find one, she built VERDAD.

Radio DJs, call-in guests, and, in some cases, commercials are spreading disinformation about immigration and immigration raids on Spanish language and ethnic radio stations in the U.S. Go to the Verdad.app, a new tool that monitors radio and podcasts, to find out what is being spread and where.

Disinformation is not just on social media; it has infiltrated Spanish-language radio in the U.S. 97% of Latinos listen to the radio weekly, making it the perfect place to spread disinformation. Journalists can go to VERDAD.app to monitor disinformation on Spanish-language radio.
