If you’re looking to find journalists on Mastodon, #PressCheck is a good start https://www.presscheck.org

Nice use of of a public #AirTable: #PressCheck list of pending users:

https://www.presscheck.org/pending

cc #MediaLit #SocialMedia #verification #edtechSR

@mtsw There's also this third-party verification #list of #journalists: https://www.presscheck.org/ #presscheck

Any advice on moving one's #presscheck from a previously joined instance?
I got the green at mastodon.nz, and SolarPACES is listed in the PRESSCHECK #news sites but haven't been able to get a response from them on #moving it to newsie.social

I’m verified by #PressCheck - an independent verification platform for #journalists and #press on #Mastodon. If you’re #media and new here, check it out.

👆 Seems like a good day to boost this list of #NYC and #NY reporters and politics accounts. On #presscheck (https://www.presscheck.org/) I've also since found:

@Ericasmith
@byChipBrownlee
@sophiachang

Please add more below!

Just found out about #PressCheck run by @daveleeFT

Great initiative check it out.

New by me at Forbes today: a guide to getting 'Twitter verified' at Mastodon. Includes options for linking Twitter and Mastodon accounts, linking 'legacy blue' Twitter accounts, and more. I couldn't cover everything, so be kind - this is for a general audience, those who might be exploring Mastodon and want to know more about account verification in easy to digest terms.

@thomasw It may also be worth pointing out that real journalists can get effectively verified for Mastodon through #PressCheck dot org. Run by Dave Lee a #FinancialTimes reporter as a personal project.

It's not clear we can/can't submit for people like @RyeBread and @shayshinecastle but they should at least be aware of it.

Details and submission https://www.presscheck.org/outlets

@meenakshirv You can use #PressCheck to have verified profile sporting a green tick mark.

#PressCheck は報道のプロたちがジャーナリスト認証バッジを発行するサービスです。
チェックを通ると、マストドンのプロフィール欄にプレスチェックを受けたプロパティが追加されるとのこと。

他にも類似のサービスは出てくるでしょうね。楽しみです。

@aallan @daveleeFT Thanks for sharing #PressCheck, this would be the press pass in diverse journalism.

And I want to tell you a glitch. @aallan ’s check is not shown on remote server. Old GitHub link is displayed instead. Editing information seems not provided.

Anyway, I love #PressCheck. I'm going to share.

@sbasu @szhang_ds

Two more I could find on #PressCheck.

@chetanchauhan and @padmapriyadvl you both should add your Presscheck profiles into your profile metadata. So that green verification tick will show on your account profile itself.

If you're a #journalist here on #Mastodon, @daveleeFT has set up an independent way to get verified called #PressCheck, https://www.presscheck.org.

If you're a person here on #Mastodon that isn't a journalist you can see if someone is a verified journalist, and is who they say they are, by going to their profile on PressCheck, or looking for a green "VERIFIED BY PRESSCHECK.ORG" link in their profile here on Mastodon.

Better than a blue tick? Yes, because it's run by someone in the industry.

Nice #PressCheck initiative from @daveleeFT to verify journalists to help with #TwitterMigration

https://www.presscheck.org

One of many good account verification initiatives for sure, like journa@host by @adamdavidson or #ConradsList #Fedified

This is starting to feel like a place with critical mass in no time at all!

Is #PressCheck the new #Fedified, or are people treating this one differently because it’s focused on journalists and run by a journalist?

I'm delighted to have had my #Credentials verified by https://www.presscheck.org/

Many thanks to @daveleeFT (Dave Lee of the FT) for setting up the system, and yahboosucks to Elon and his $$ blue ticks.

Fellow journos, it's easy and worthwhile. Everybody else: use #Presscheck to find writers on #Mastodon.

#presscheck.org is all AI bots.

WOULD NOT BANG :kieth:
