Journalism and justice
While this “Verification Handbook” provides innovative ways for journalists and crisis responders to analyze citizen video, WITNESS’s “Field Guide to Enhancing the Evidentiary Value
of Video for Human Rights” will address the same issue from the other side of the coin, by
providing methods for filmers to use so that the videos they capture can be as valuable as
possible in exposing abuse and bringing about justice. Collectively, these two resources help
ensure that more cameras in more hands can lead to better journalism and greater justice.
