News professionals are facing the challenge of discovering news from more diverse and unreliable information in the age of social media. More and more news events break on social media first and are picked up by news media subsequently. The recent Brussels attack is such an example. At Reuters, a global news agency, we have observed the necessity of providing a more effective tool that can help our journalists to quickly discover news on social media, verify them and then inform the public.
