Interview with Jochen Wegner
summary
A newsroom recounts covering the Paris attacks and concludes that social media as primary source dominates early reporting, with eyewitness photos and videos arriving long before reporters; editorial policy shifts to withhold graphic footage and delay commentary for about a day while live-blocking unverified items; verification relies on two or three confirmed sources before publishing; the workflow change feels urgent but limited — it works to avoid amplifying terror content while forcing slower, more cautious online coverage.
