      Storyful is a really cool site that works pretty much solely on providing fact checking for journalists and editors. It also gives a lot of advice about making online content.

      Is Twitter Wrong focuses on disproving news and rumors from Twitter. Some of what they fact check isn't very official, but there are several good verifications.

      Keepr compiles similar news from different sources. It makes looking up a certain event in the news really easy.

    This website compiles useful fact checking websites, like Fact Checker. I personally find the Is Twitter Wrong website to be interesting and informative.
