Are you interested in learning how to implement the Verification Handbook in breaking news scenarios?

We are collecting requests to organise on-site training sessions with a Storyful verification expert in your city. When we receive enough requests, we will organise a low-fee, half-day training to meet your needs.

The following themes will be examined throughout the training courses depending on location and needs:

  • Debunking storm-related UGC
  • Sorting authentic contents from the fakes in unreachable locations such as Syria
  • Social Search and Discovery for User Generated Content
  • Online Content Verification

The trainers can provide on-site training in English, Chinese, Arabic or German (materials in English).
