Founded in 2018, Maldita.es is a leading non-profit foundation and media outlet that fights against misinformation in Spanish and promotes transparency through fact-checking and data journalism techniques.

Maldita's main mission is to provide citizens with tools, technology and information so that they can make informed decisions. The organisation's work is underscored by specialised teams, cutting edge technological tools, and an extensive community of engaged citizens who collaborate with the organisation in the battle against disinformation.

Maldita serves a national audience of 2 million monthly website visitors, 50,000 website subscribers, and over 1.5 million followers on social media. Central to their work is a bidirectional relation with the community: they are consumers of and participants in the selection and creation of content.
