As the June elections approach and the campaigning is about to begin, political statements and promises are flying around our ears. But is the data used by candidates and parties accurate? And can we always believe a campaign or are we sometimes misled by images and photos? In the coming weeks, VRT NWS will step up a gear to fact-check political statements together with other news editors from Flanders, French-speaking Belgium and the Netherlands.

In 2023, VRT, together with MediaNet Flanders and Thomas More, launched a call for young media talent - from student, start-up to beginning production company - to shape the future of media.

In an important election year, Ketnet wants to introduce children to politics in an approachable way. 'De Raad van Soekie' is a series packed with humour in which you learn about the role of debating, how the democratic system works, the importance of elections and much more.

VRT and RTBF are joining the Public Media Alliance (PMA), the largest international association of public media organisations. The collaboration focuses on the shared challenges of public broadcasters by exchanging knowledge and experience. In an ever-evolving media landscape, VRT thus strengthens its international position and the impact of public broadcasters worldwide.
