Executive summary

If you mean “Factually,” the fact‑checking newsletter produced by Poynter’s International Fact‑Checking Network and the American Press Institute, you can subscribe by entering your email on Poynter’s signup pages; the newsletter is delivered every other Thursday at 9 a.m. [1]. Poynter also lists Factually among its fact‑checking newsletter offerings and provides a newsletter signup form that requests an email address for Factually [2] [3].

1. What “Factually” refers to — a short identification

“Factually” in the search results appears as a newsletter on fact‑checking, debunking, verification and accountability journalism run by Poynter in partnership with the American Press Institute and Poynter’s International Fact‑Checking Network; it highlights fact‑checks, global misinformation trends and media literacy training opportunities [1] [3].

2. How to subscribe — the concrete steps shown in available pages

Poynter’s subscription pathway is straightforward in the pages indexed here: visit Poynter’s “Subscribe to Factually” page and/or the Poynter newsletter signup form, enter your email address where prompted, and submit — the newsletter is dispatched every other Thursday at 9 a.m., per the subscription description [1] [2]. The Poynter tag archive for fact‑checking newsletters also identifies Factually as one of its newsletter products, which supports that the Poynter signup is the canonical route [3].

3. What the newsletter contains and who it’s for

Poynter describes Factually as content aimed at fact‑checkers, educators, journalists and citizens who want to “get at the truth,” featuring interesting fact‑checks, trends in misinformation, and notices of media literacy training — useful if you’re working in or following accountability journalism [1] [3].

4. Timing and frequency — what to expect in your inbox

The Poynter description specifies Factually is delivered “every other Thursday at 9 a.m.” — if you subscribe, expect a biweekly cadence from Poynter’s International Fact‑Checking Network [1].

5. Variants called “Factually” — don’t confuse other uses

“Factually” is also the name or part of other products in the wider web: e.g., a podcast titled “Factually! with Adam Conover” and other sites that include the word “factual” [4] [5]. These are distinct from Poynter’s newsletter; the Poynter pages are the ones that explicitly describe a newsletter signup and the biweekly delivery schedule [1] [2].

6. Alternatives if you want broader fact‑checking newsletters

If you are open to other fact‑checking newsletters, Full Fact (a UK‑based independent fact‑checking organization) has a signup page for its newsletter and campaigns about misinformation; that’s an alternative outside Poynter’s offerings [6]. The search results also show general newsletter roundups and RSS lists that can point to other “fact” or “fact‑checking” feeds, though they are not the same product as Poynter’s Factually [7] [8].

7. Limitations in available reporting and what’s not covered

Available sources do not mention whether Factually requires any account beyond an email address, whether it has paid tiers, how Poynter handles privacy or unsubscribes specifically for this newsletter, or whether it archives back issues publicly — those details are not found in the provided pages (not found in current reporting). Also, subscriber counts or metrics for Factually are not provided in these sources (not found in current reporting).

8. Quick recommended next steps

To subscribe now, go to Poynter’s “Subscribe to Factually” page or the Poynter newsletter signup form and enter your email as prompted [1] [2]. If you want broader or alternative fact‑checking newsletters, consider signing up at Full Fact’s newsletter page or exploring curated RSS lists for fact feeds [6] [7].
