EBU Academy with Eurovision News, invites you to a special edition of the free online learning session Spotlight Fact-Check Review, hosted by the Eurovision Social Newswire (ESN) team together with special guests.
Join Thais Porto and Maria Flannery of the EBU and Fabian Dilger of BR24 to learn fact-checking examples from the past month, while Eoghan Sweeney, also from the EBU, will give a detailed tutorial on the power of Google Lens in OSINT and verification.
These experts will walk attendees through the fact-checking process step-by-step, and discuss the challenges faced during the fact-checks and how they were overcome. The interactive session will allow attendees to ask questions about the fact-checking process, specific stories, or the team’s methods while previewing potential stories and focus areas for the coming month.
Special announcement
There will also be a special announcement by Head of Social Newsgathering, Derek Bowler, regarding a new Eurovision News-led initiative on open-source investigations, fact-checking, and social newsgathering.
We encourage all EBU members working in these areas to attend and to share this invitation with your colleagues.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
