This is clearly a promising tool for newsrooms, but in breaking news, it is not just the tools, it is how you use them. It is not enough to have a great verification tool if the culture inside and outside the newsroom doesn’t value accuracy above all.

The Verification Handbook is free online, and was produced by the European Journalism Centre with contributions from an all-star cast of journalists.
