1 Establish trust

The first step is to establish trust and rapport with your source. Explain who you are, what you are working on, and how you will use their information. Be transparent about your ethical standards, your editorial process, and your legal obligations. Respect their privacy, safety, and consent, and do not pressure them to share more than they are comfortable with. Ask them how they prefer to communicate with you, and what are the best times and methods to reach them.

Unfortunately, the question is vague. It points to two entirely different entities which demand two entirely different answers.

As above, trust is achieved when you actually perform what you have committed to and promised. It must be made very clear from the beginning of what you are able to accomplish and not over commit.information gathering from various sources needs to be kept confidential. If at any point there is reluctance to provide information, then reassurance of what safety measures can be taken that will avoid any doubt or confusion.

Il me semble que la justice est là pour cela. La méthodologie ou le processus d'informations doit être revu. Par ailleurs, la justice doit travailler en étroite collaboration avec le milieu médical ou social (les psychologues ou les assistantes sociales )

Gaining trust is crucial. Briefly explain yourself, your project, and information usage. Be transparent about ethics, editorial processes, and legal limitations. Prioritize the source's privacy, safety, and right to consent. Don't pressure them. Finally, inquire about their preferred communication methods for a smoother interaction. This builds trust and facilitates acquiring reliable information.

2 Verify identity

The next step is to verify the identity of your source. This may be challenging if they are using a pseudonym, a proxy, or a third-party platform to contact you. You can ask them to provide some proof of their identity, such as a photo, a document, or a reference. You can also cross-check their information with other sources, such as official records, public databases, or social media. Be careful not to expose your source to unnecessary risks or breaches of confidentiality.

Aujourd'hui avec L'IA, ce n'est plus un casse-tête La preuve d'identité est un moyen de vérifier et d'authentifier l'identité d'une personne qui tente d'accéder à un service ou à un système. également appelée vérification d'identité, la preuve d'identité confirme qu'une identité existe dans le monde réel et que la personne qui présente cette identité en est le véritable propriétaire. Dans les services financiers, la vérification de l'identité se concentre souvent sur les clients nouveaux ou inconnus qui interagissent avec une banque pour la première foi

3 Check facts

The third step is to check the facts and claims that your source makes. This may require some research, analysis, and corroboration. You can use multiple sources of information, such as documents, data, experts, witnesses, or other media reports. You can also ask your source to provide some evidence or documentation to support their statements. You can also use tools and techniques to verify the authenticity and origin of digital materials, such as photos, videos, or audio recordings.

While incarcerated or institutionalized individuals can be valuable sources, their information requires heightened verification due to potential limitations on their access to complete information. Crucially, corroborate their claims by seeking information from multiple sources like official documents, expert opinions, witness testimonies, and credible media reports. Encourage the source to provide any supporting evidence they possess. Utilize digital verification tools to assess the authenticity of photos and videos. Remember, information from such sources demands a more thorough verification process to ensure its accuracy.

Check facts in those cases, and be sure to get all sides of the story. Many incarcerated individuals may have additional information about crime scenes, but can be facing many challenges.

4 Assess bias

The fourth step is to assess the bias and reliability of your source. This means considering their perspective, motivation, and agenda. You can ask them why they are sharing their information with you, what they hope to achieve, and what they stand to gain or lose. You can also ask them about their background, affiliations, and interests. You can also compare their information with other sources that may have different or conflicting views or interests.

Clarifions ce que l'on entend par "sources incarcérées" et "sources institutionnalisées". - Les sources incarcérées font référence aux individus qui sont actuellement détenus dans des établissements pénitentiaires, tels que des prisons ou des centres de détention. D'autre part, les sources institutionnalisées désignent les personnes résidant dans des institutions telles que des h?pitaux psychiatriques, des maisons de retraite ou des centres de réadaptation.

Assessing the source's bias is vital. Given their unique situation, incarcerated individuals might hold a specific viewpoint. To understand their perspective, ask about their reasons for sharing information, their desired outcome, and potential gains or losses. Investigate their background, affiliations, and interests to identify potential biases. Crucially, compare the information with sources offering contrasting viewpoints to gain a well-rounded understanding and assess the credibility of the information received.

5 Protect source

The fifth step is to protect your source from any harm or retaliation that may result from their participation in your story. This means respecting their wishes, rights, and expectations. You can ask them what level of anonymity or confidentiality they need, and what are the potential risks or consequences they may face. You can also use encryption, secure platforms, or pseudonyms to communicate and store their information. You can also follow up with them after the publication of your story, and offer them support or assistance if needed.

Acredito que o anonimato nesse caso seja pressentível, apesar que estamos a cada dia caminhado para uma cultura de "castigos e represarias em massa" sem levar em considera??o um único indevido e sua historia, os exemplos atuais como da proibi??o das "saidinhas" e os bombardeios cada vez mais comuns a cíveis, visto nas ultimas guerras mais recentes. é um exemplo de como é essencial e difícil proteger vitimas e delatores, principalmente em crimes com redes complexas como as do crime organizado, pedofilia e guerra civil com toques agravantes ideológicas e de corrup??o.

6 Disclose source

The final step is to disclose your source to your audience, editor, and colleagues. This means being honest and transparent about how you obtained, verified, and used their information. You can explain the reasons and methods for protecting their identity, if applicable. You can also acknowledge the limitations, challenges, or uncertainties that may affect the accuracy or completeness of their information. You can also provide some context and background about your source, and how they relate to your story.
