Community-based Approaches to Verification

This community-based visual verification guide will support individuals, human rights defenders, journalists, and communities to fortify the truth through a collaborative approach to verification using open-source materials. It centers on the knowledge and skills of local experts, community members, and social networks to verify audio-visual materials. The guide includes steps, processes, and tools that community members can use to verify the accuracy, reliability, and credibility of open-source visual content, especially in situations where official sources of information may be unavailable or untrustworthy.
