In this RTDNA/Google News Initiative training, we’ll explore ways to fight back against misinformation and disinformation during post-election coverage. We’ll use tools such as Google Fact-Check Explorer to track fact-checked images and stories. We’ll use reverse image search and other Google tools to check election claims. We’ll break down doctored video and audio with WatchFramebyFrame and Deepfake-o-meter. We’ll also look at the innovative Rolliapp.com to track disinformation spreaders on social channels. Participants get a handout with links to tools and exercise materials you can take to your newsroom.
Please note, we will not be able to record this session, so please join us live if you’d like to participate.
Prior to the training, set up a free Rolliapp.com “press pass” account as it takes a couple of days to get approved. Use the passcode JOURNOAI
