A narrated video can make a story feel complete, even when the reporting is still developing. Before you share one, look at the claims it makes and the sources attached to them. The first pass does not have to take long, but it needs to be real.
Dayfaro keeps references alongside a presentation. That record is useful while editing, and it gives you a place to start checking the finished brief.
Check the claim, not just the link
Open the source and find the sentence, figure, or document that supports the line in the script. A link to a whole article does not tell you whether a particular number was copied correctly. Check the unit, date, and comparison behind each important figure.
If several reports repeat a claim from one announcement, treat that announcement as the original source. If accounts differ, the narration should reflect the disagreement instead of picking the cleaner version.
Check what the image shows
An image can be accurate and still be wrong for a story. A photo of an older event may look like the new one. Keep the original image page, its credit, and the context in which it was published. Then check whether you have permission to use it.
Attribution and permission are separate. Naming the photographer does not make the image free to republish. If the usage rights are unclear, choose another asset.
Listen for certainty the source does not have
Spoken lines can quietly turn a forecast into an outcome or an allegation into a fact. Pay close attention to words such as 'will', 'confirmed', and 'caused'. Recheck those lines against the original material.
