Every major news story now brings with it a minefield of fake pictures for newsrooms to sort though, a minefield that grows ever bigger each ear. Verified Pixel is a Knight Foundation-funded prototype that aims to speed up verification by automating and simplifying that process. This article was written by Alastair Reid, Managing Editor of First Draft News.
One thing we can say for certain is that we are uncertain about the future of the news industry. Trends come and go and there is no silver bullet for keeping an online newsroom competitive. So unless you’ve got a crystal ball tucked away somewhere, I'm placing my money on Superdesk, a future-proof newsroom management system.

Images always increased the power of a story. And this never more so than today. The proliferation of smartphones and digital cameras means that when news occurs, the first person to capture it will likely not be a journalist. User-generated content is flooding newsrooms, however, it seems newsrooms struggle with verification of this content, frequently misunderstand it, or — at worst — ignore it completely.
