Journalists and news organisations teamed up for one of the biggest newsgathering projects ever at the 2016 US election
No person is an island, and no one can do truly effective digital newsgathering or verification work without collaboration, argues Fergus Bell
Spotting stories around big political events takes preparation and practice so get started now, says Fergus Bell
Consideration of uploaders' and eyewitnesses' well-being will sustain the flow of user-generated content in news for the future, says Fergus Bell
Knowing the differences in how user-generated content is captured and uploaded in different countries is vital for newsgathering and verification
Now almost anyone can broadcast live video direct from their smartphone, there are important considerations around ethics and verification
Context is what turns a social post or a piece of UGC into a story, it also helps you to work through a verification process quickly
This second part of establishing editorial workflows around eyewitness media looks at what happens after the material has been verified
With a well planned social newsgathering and verification workflow you can discover and authenticate faster, and say goodbye to issuing corrections on UGC
Don’t get caught up in the moment – pop the social media bubble
