@Xaver30021678 Guten Abend, haben sie das Material heute Abend gedreht? Können wir es für unsere Sendung in der Tagesschau und Tagesthemen nutzen? Besten Dank für eine kurze Rückmeldung.

The #BBC now uses 'content credentials' that are to show how their journalists have verified the authenticity of items such as images and videos, marking them as genuine. https://t.co/JaMaYj7NUb

#BBCAfrica showing NewsXchange delegates what #verification of video looks like today. Basis for trusted journalism, fascinating! #eurovision #nx18

Steve Bannon’s terrible framing of the debate on refugees: “an illegal flood”, „Muslim invaders“... Good way to get hatred going #nx18

Defend independence of newsrooms from political interference is key, says RTVEs Asun Gomez-Bueno. „It can be gone fast in your country as well“, she warns. Should ring a bell for many European state broadcasters.... #nx18

[Michael Wegener @wegener_michael]

Good question at NewsXchange: who should get the price for best spreading fake news? NewsXchange panel is clear: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter! #nx18

More focus on verification needed, to decide what is fact and what is fiction, says Tony Hall, BBC boss and future #EBU president. „Together we‘ll be stronger“ #nx18

@hankblum Hi, I `m a journalist with the European Broadcasting Union EBU. We work with member public broadcasters in Europe and help them to find and verify social media videos. Is this video yours? Would it be ok to use it? Thanks!

[Michael Wegener @wegener_michael]

@jerryphotog Hi, I`m a journalist for the European Broadcasting Union. We wanted to ask if this video is yours and European public tv stations could use it, naing you as a source. If you follow me you can also DM. Thanks!

"Fake news is not the real problem, we [traditional news] are the problem." @UlrikHaagerup kicking off #dni2018 arguing journalism needs to move beyond obsession with conflict and scandal to win back trust and help people navigate the world.
