Title: Content management techniques and tools for fact-checking

Abstract: The tremendous value of Big Data has been noticed of late also by the media, and the term ``data journalism'' has been coined to refer to journalistic work inspired by data sources. While data of some form is a natural ingredient of all reporting, the increasing volumes of available digital data as well as its increasing complexity lead to a qualitative jump, where technical skills for working with data are stringently needed in journalism teams.

Following our prior experiences on one hand, building a data-driven fact-checking prototype, and with the automatic analysis of news
corpora, in 2016 we have started an ongoing collaborative research (with colleagues from U. Lyon 1 and the ``Les Décodeurs'' fact-checking team of Le Monde) focused on novel content management techniques applied to data journalism and fact-checking, within the ANR ContentCheck project (2016-2019).
The talk will present a vision on fact-checking from a content management perspective and outline some recent contributions in this area.
