In this workshop, we'll look at different ways you can verify the reports that appear in your social media streams - everything from checking images for Photoshop to checking the 'digital trail' a user leaves behind. We'll go hands-on to try different tools for verification, and we can also try to test our knowledge by playing a game of 'Liars and Verifiers.'
