Journalism students and journalists participating in the second edition of the Information Integrity Academy were lectured today about the verification of facts, information, videos and images.
This module, taught by Shkëlzen Osmani – founder of the fact-checking platform, hibrid.info, showed the participants an online platform on how facts, videos and images can be verified. During the examples that were discussed, the participants had the opportunity to practice online fact-checking tools, videos and images. Practical examples allowed them to apply these tools practically.
In addition, crucial aspects of information integrity were discussed and the challenges of image and video verification, including deepfake technology, were addressed.
The Information Integrity Academy will continue with four more modules in the following months.
