Verifi

2. THE PROBLEM
There is large amount of data coming in especially during major events like the
elections.
Citizen Journalism has contributed to this upsurge in data and they are mostly curated
on the internet.
How do we sort through the data , in this case (images, audio, video and text) and
verify their accuracy?
How do we make it accessible to journalists, (the public and officials) in Nigeria even
all around the world needing verified and accurate data covering the elections?

3. THE SOLUTION
Based on the theme
“New tools to cover elections”
We realised that during elections, there are concerns with information being relayed.
How accurate is the information? Is it fair to all parties involved? How do we check the
authenticity of information – attribution to a recognised name, face and preferably
geographical location (address), and Newsworthiness: is the information really
newsworthy? How do we solve this?
An application that geotags uploaded information by registered users on location
and interfaces with a website.
An application that auto verifies the accuracy of data within a short time frame.

4. WHAT DOES VERIFI DO?
verifies DATA.
All data coming in concerning the election (pre, during and post) will be accurate
based on the ability of to verify the data and make it available. There will
also be live reports and this can be used to monitor coverage of the elections. All
data coming in will be geo-tagged. They will be tagged so it will be easy to find
data related to that event.
Social media updates tailored to the coverage of the elections will be streamed live.
There will be social media updates tailored to the coverage of the elections and will
