Social Newsgathering

Storyful is the world's first social media news agency and for the past three years has been working with the biggest news organisations, discovering and verifying content from across the social web.


Last year we decided to start sharing some tricks of the trade on our blog and in this book have collected the best posts so it could be a one-stop resource.


In the following chapters, you'll find in-depth guides to verifying content online, how to build and manage Twitter lists, how to use Tweetdeck effectively as a journalist, how to spot fake photographs, and how to geo-locate videos on maps.


This book is aimed at journalists who need to learn the skills of social newsgathering as well as students and journalism educators who want to be at the cutting edge of online discovery and verification.
