"Politicians' little arrangements with reality" (Swiss Press Text 2014, by Sophie Simon) - Swiss Press Award

Tribune de Genève

After the debate between the eleven candidates for the Geneva State Council, organized by the "Tribune de Genève," my colleague Marc Moulin and I scrutinized their statements, using the fact-checking technique I'm trying to develop in Switzerland. It's a topic close to my heart, and was also the subject of my Master's thesis in journalism. I already published a similar article during the 2012 by-election campaign.
