Abstract
This chapter describes the integration of a video verification process into newsrooms of TV broadcasters or news agencies, which enables journalists to analyze and assess user-generated videos� (UGV) from platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. We regard the organizational integration concerning the workflow, responsibility, and preparations as well as the inclusion of innovative verification tools and services into an existing IT environment. This includes the technical prerequisites required to connect the newsroom to video verification services in the cloud with the combined employment of third-party Web services for retrieval, analysis, or geolocation. We describe the different features to verify source, time, place, content, and rights of the video offered for journalists by the� InVID Video Verification Application orVerification App for short, which can serve as a blueprint for realizing a video verification process for professional newsroom systems. In the outlook, we discuss further potential to improve the current verification process through additional services, such as speech-to-text, OCR, translation, or deep fake detection.
