Some news startups, like Eyewitness Media Hub and Storyful, are built around social media and user-generated content, with reporters trained in verifying and reporting from it. But journalists in most newsrooms don’t receive the same training, which can make it difficult to spot and then accurately report on emerging stories.
In September, Facebook announced Signal, a dashboard to help reporters gather news across Facebook and Instagram. And on Monday, a group called the First Draft Coalition is launching a website, First Draft News, that will pull together resources for gathering, verifying and creating stories from user-generated content. The First Draft Coalition launched in June with seven partners — Bellingcat, Eyewitness Media Hub, Emergent, Meedan, Reported.ly, Storyful, and Verification Junkie — with support from Google News Lab. The Coalition published on Medium throughout the summer, and the website offers the following:…industry news, case studies, how-to guides, tools, training resources, interactives and multimedia features exploring the crossroads between journalism and the social web.
As well as keeping up to date with this new field of journalism, First Draft News will provide guides to help journalists better understand social newsgathering, verification techniques, ethics and the law, in-depth investigations, fakes and hoaxes, and other issues affecting the modern newsroom.
Alastair Reid, the site’s managing editor, plans to publish a couple of new pieces of content every day. “The foundation of good journalism is the same, but it’s a new world, and it’s not always easy to adapt and bring that conversation together,” he said. “We can navigate this minefield collectively.”

Here’s what this coalition has achieved because of it’s attempt to “balance”. It has deemed these websites “fake news” and caused their traffic to fall: Democracy Now: 36%; Alternet: 15%; Wikileaks: 30%; Truthout: 25%; Alternet: 63%; Wikileaks: 30%; The Intercept: 19%; Media Matters: 42%; Common Dreams: 37%; Socialist Worker: 47%; etc. Media Matters is one of the most mainstream sites you’ll ever read. And Democracy Now? Oh yes, plenty of fake news there. Are you getting the picture? Their attempt to “balance” right and left wing sites always sounded dubious. The coalition is supposedly trying to ferret out FAKE NEWS, not block left wing sites. But that is exactly what is happening. Wake up.

sugar Defender reviews Uncovering Sugar Protector
has actually been a game-changer for me, as I’ve always been vigilant concerning managing my blood sugar degrees.
With this supplement, I really feel equipped to take charge of
my wellness, and my most recent clinical check-ups have shown a substantial turnaround.
Having a reliable ally in my edge provides me with a sense of security and confidence, and I’m
deeply appreciative for the profound difference Sugar Protector has made in my well-being.
