1️⃣"If you’re still unsure whether what you’re seeing is real or not, just don’t share," says @O_Rob1nson Head of a @BBCMonitoring team investigating the "wave of falsehoods"

2️⃣Highly popular Spanish Telegram channels which have pushed COVID-denialism and conspiracy theories "have mutated to become deniers of the Kremlin's attack on its neighbor," according to this investigation by @malditaen

Our interview with @astroehlein of @hrw delves into the human rights issues raised by Putin's invasion and what journalists need to know about them.

🧵5 highlights in thread

reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/reporting…
@astroehlein @hrw 1⃣Verification is key

"We try to piece things together so we can put together a timeline of events and what was happening immediately before an attack," said @astroehlein

For more on verification, here's our seminar with @bellingcat's @christogrozev

@astroehlein @hrw @bellingcat @christogrozev 2⃣ On social media disinformation

"[People shouldn't] jump the gun and then say,
“This has happened, I'm gonna tweet this first.”
There's no benefit to that. It usually benefits the propagation of lies and propaganda," said @astroehlein

🧵Today's thread looks at the challenges facing journalists during war

1️⃣“You start making mistakes when you get tired. So, we have a responsibility as a company to try to rotate people out. The problem is that your judgment could fail,” says @mchancecnn
washingtonpost.com/media/2022/03/… Image
2️⃣“Nobody wants to see my emotion, it doesn’t matter – except to me. We’re here to report, and convey what’s happening here. There’s enough emotion in war already without adding more. We’re not trying to be heroes. It’s what we do," says @bbclysedoucet theguardian.com/media/2022/mar…
3️⃣Two more journalists have been killed covering the war in Ukraine. Camera operator Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova were part of a FoxNews team believed to have come under Russian shelling cpj.org/2022/03/attack…

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
3️⃣A new study by the @ShorensteinCtr finds TikTok "presents a unique challenge for viewers attempting to decipher fact from fiction" through how videos can be easily reposted w/out attribution, ease of image manipulation, and hard-to-find metadata.
