Pictures from social media are increasingly important in breaking news, but few workflows exist to make the process efficient. Here are some ideas to help.

Experts from CNN's social discovery talk about the challenges of eyewitness media with some tips for the job
When Seung-Hui Cho opened fire at staff and students on the campus of Virginia Tech in 2007, graduate student Jamal Albarghouti didn’t run. In an act which is now a mainstay of breaking news events, he pulled out his cameraphone and started filming.
CNN iReport had launched some seven months earlier as a simple web page for members of the public to share pictures and video, and Albarghouti uploaded his footage of police storming the campus building amid the sound of gunfire to the CNN site.
That horrifying day at Virginia Tech was the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history until the recent massacre in Orlando, and Albarghouti’s video became a key part of the media coverage in a way that had never been seen before. The fact that such imagery is now almost expected whenever tragedy strikes is a hallmark of how much has changed.
It is now ten years since iReport launched, in August 2006, and the Virginia Tech story – along with Albarghouti’s footage – “put CNN iReport on the map”, says CNN’s Justin Lear, the broadcaster’s director of social discovery.

Asking ‘should I share this?’ isn’t just for journalists, especially in breaking news situations, argues Reportedly’s P. Kim Bui
There is more footage than ever, more stories, more images. Journalists aren’t the sole filter anymore, but what we can do is guide our audiences to make better decisions about viewing it – and spreading it further.
Sky News' digital editor for newsgathering discussed some of the more challenging stories she's worked on when talking with eyewitnesses in danger
When big news breaks, eyewitnesses always have the best stories, the first-hand accounts, the as-it-happened photos that news organisations crave. And now, thanks to social media, reporters can track down and contact someone at the scene of an event in an instant, even on the other side of the world.
This, in itself, raises a raft of issues about how the public and news media interact. It is now a regular sight to see reporters reaching out to eyewitnesses on social media in a breaking news situation. The best practice for getting in touch has been discussed at length, but sometimes eyewitnesses are after more information themselves and raise more questions in the conversation than they answer.

Not every newsroom has the same resources, but that doesn’t make newsgathering and verification impossible
10 newsgathering and verification tools for newsrooms on a budget
Discovery and verification of social media content is playing an ever-increasing role for news organisations across the world. Many are choosing to outsource the bulk of this work to third parties, while others build in-house technology, or spend money on subscriptions to tools that claim to do the bulk of the work at the click of a button. This can be a costly expedition for newsrooms, but it doesn’t have to be.
First Draft News is a daily destination site for journalists who source and report stories from social media.
What is the best way to search for eyewitness media when a story breaks? What are the most efficient and effective ways to verify what you find? How should you approach and credit social sources? What role can you play in stopping the spread of rumours and hoaxes? How can you do all this while remaining commercially competitive?
These are just some of the questions that the First Draft Coalition was established to address, seeking solutions through dedicated research and collaboration and providing guidance and training for our industry peers in newsrooms around the world.
