#FactFest - The Future of Fact Checking @CUNYJSchool

A daylong discussion of the future of fact checking at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, November 15, 2011

  1. The view at CUNY's fact-checking summit, hosted by @jeffjarvis and @craignewmark. Most key players are here! #factfest yfrog.com/khyjnonoj
  2. Jeff Jarvis: "Mission of the day = Making fact-checking efficient, effective and scalable..."

    Agenda: 
    Part 1: Craig Silverman presentation on what we’re doing
    Part 2: What can and should we be doing in fact-checking in terms of editorial, people, or technology 
    Part 3: What we should be doing next
  3. "The first reporter who figures out a 'networked beat'--reporter + 1000 will be famous." -@jayrosen_nyu #factfest
  4. At #factfest, @scottros suggests we change the culture of journalism so corrections are not considered a black mark, but part of process.
  5. In case anyone was curious about Truth Goggles -- slides introducing the concept are here: slidesha.re/t3bkTr #factfest
  6. The world is filled with shades of grey. Ironically, this may be the defining quote of the day for me (so far) at #factfest
  7. Open source project for asynchronous syncing of remote citations. #factfest
  8. Most powerful idea out of #factfest so far is also most simple: History tab on every post recording all corrections/changes.
  9. Interesting discussion here re: US media being uncomfortable calling a lie a lie because of fears of bias. #factfest
  10. "Journalists should go where the flow of information is already occurring…be nimble in multiple platforms." - @acarvin #factfest
