(Togo First) - Combetey Combey Djddjolé is a journalist who fights fake news. In 2019, with three other Togolese, he launched Togocheck, a fact-checking platform. In 2020, the platform was ranked by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) as one of the top 30 platforms fighting fake news related to Covid-19.

Six years before launching Togocheck, he founded Africa Rendez-vous, a pan-African news website. After studying in Ghana, he wrote articles for local and international media (such as TV5, France 24, and Aljazeera TV). Passionate about ICT, he started in 2014 the "VendreTic" hashtag.

Selected in 2014 by the Obama administration to pursue courses at Harvard, Sylvio received an award for his coverage of the 2012 US presidential election.
