Polygraph.info is a fact-checking website[1] produced by Voice of America (VoA).[2] Among many subjects, the website documents Russian disinformation and state-backed propaganda by the Chinese government.[3]

The website launched on December 6, 2016.[4] Radio Free Europe funded a three-person team at Polygraph.info until February 2017. The team was led by Daily Beast senior editor Michael Weiss.[5]

According to a 2018 article in Government Executive, by providing fact-checks in both English and Russian, VOA "builds on the success of its year-old Russian-language television network Current Time TV."[6]

As of April 2020, the project employed five people.[7] VoA journalist Jim Fry was its managing editor from November 2017 to November 2019.[8] Investigative journalist, researcher, and Russian expert Fatima Tlisova also works at Polygraph.info.[9]: 76–77
