[ddj] tools to crowdsource the news

[Mehdi El Fadil]

Hello,

I am working on a software project to help journalists crowdsource the news.

Does anybody know about something like that already existing? Think Storify
or Tweetdeck but more powerful.

Some features I have in mind:

   - searching for similar images and determine whether an image is
   photoshoped.
   - profiling source of an information to guess reliability
   - auto-detect and filter mainstream accounts in order to notice relevant
   information produced by people less active on twitter, but maybe closer to
   the events.
   - ...

Do newsroom already have tools dedicated to do these tasks?

thanks,
