Verification Handbook

The Verification Handbook is a comprehensive guide developed by the European Journalism Centre that equips journalists, aid responders, and emergency communication specialists with practical skills and methodologies for verifying digital content.

The handbook includes case studies from leading journalists at organizations like the BBC, Storyful, and ABC, covering verification techniques for images, video, user-generated content, and social media.

It emphasizes establishing verification procedures before breaking news occurs and provides actionable checklists and best practices for ensuring accuracy in reporting during critical events.
