Fake news i manipulacja w sieci. Narzędzia do weryfikacji informacji. Warsztat Google News Lab [in Polish]

During the training, free tools for verifying information on the internet will be presented. The presentation is full of current examples of misinformation in the global media and ways in which they could be avoided.

Marek Miller will present simple tools and ways to verify information sources, images, videos, texts and locations. The presented tools include Google solutions (inverted image search, Google Maps and Google Earth, Google Translate, YouTube), but also other tools such as Wayback Machine, Forensically, Who is, Link Explorer, Suncalc, InVid, Mapchecking and others.

The key of the seminar are the case studies - real examples of light and more serious situations that happened in media and were or could be verified with these tools. The workshop is an eye-opener to those worried about the future of journalism as well as those who still think fake news is just another buzz word.

Marek Miller has been working in the media and journalism field for almost 16 years. Large part of this time he worked for one of the largest regional publishers in Poland (Polska Press Group), and therefore had a chance to witness Polish newspapers' digital transformation process from the inside from the very beginning. For many years he's been cooperating with global media organisations as INMA (International News Media Association) as well as GEN (Global Editors Network), WAN-IFRA (World Association of Newspapers) and FIPP (World Magazine Association).

He worked for Poland's audit bureau of circulation (ZKDP) where he organised conferences and workshops for journalists, and was the editor-in-chief of a media industry website Prasa.info (not existing now) that was aspiring to be the leading information source for Polish journalists about the media market. He cooperated with Poland's leading publisher Agora (Gazeta Wyborcza) in organising a number of journalists orientated events in Warsaw. As a media journalist he contributes for the leading media industry magazine in Poland "Press". In 2017 he was a Coaching and Leadership Fellow at the Poynter's Institute in Florida.
