Media Verification — Overview
Purpose: Establish authenticity, date, and context of images and video used in civic discourse.
Verification stack (conceptual)
- What is claimed? (location, date, identity of event)
- Earliest credible publication — reverse image and keyframe search
- Physical consistency — shadows, weather, architecture
- Digital integrity — metadata (weak signal), compression forensics (expert)
- Archive — Wayback / archive.today with hash where possible
