Hi, Thanks for sharing these
Hi,
Thanks for sharing these resources, Warren, and it was good to see that "annthorsted" further shared them with his/her network to try to spark further ideas.
I recently ran across this:
Verification Handbook: A Definitive Guide to Verifying Digital Content for Emergency Coverage
http://www.comminit.com/global/content/verification-handbook-definitive-guide-verifying-digital-content-emergency-coverage
which is "a resource for journalists and aid providers that offers tools, techniques, and step-by-step guidelines for how to deal with user-generated content (UGC) during emergencies. It would be interesting to hear what other journalists' tactics are in this kind of situation.
