5 free tools for finding and verifying YouTube videos in news by Alastair Reid.

From the post:

With more than 500 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, Google’s video platform is still the most popular in the world for publicly sharing videos with the rest of humanity.

Granted, some of them may be teenagers playing computer games, unboxing consumer goods or just accidentally filming their feet, but YouTube is a vital resource for eyewitness media around news stories. Here are some tools to bear in mind for finding and verifying such footage.

I maintain an internal webpage with links grouped by categories. Bookmarks are too easy to forget and why bother with searching?

All five of these links will be clustered in YouTube videos.

Enjoy!

PS: If you work in one those organizations where sharing isn’t all that odd, consider having a communal internal webpage for common resources.
