      The Freedom of Information Center from the University of Missouri is a great resource to help understand some of the laws that protect you as a journalist.  Depending on what state or country you are in, you can see what rights you have.

      This State FOI tab is great.  You can look up what freedom of information laws are available for each state.

      Storyful is a really cool site that works pretty much solely on providing fact checking for journalists and editors. It also gives a lot of advice about making online content.

      Is Twitter Wrong focuses on disproving news and rumors from Twitter. Some of what they fact check isn't very official, but there are several good verifications.

      Keepr compiles similar news from different sources. It makes looking up a certain event in the news really easy.

    This website compiles useful fact checking websites, like Fact Checker. I personally find the Is Twitter Wrong website to be interesting and informative.

      Different tabs at the top allow you to find all different kinds of information.  Data tab is particularly useful as it can present the data information and three different ways, and also tells you where the data is from, so you can find out if the facts come from a legitimate source.

      There is helpful information on each of these sites. This can help people who haven't decided where to make their portfolios. Also, this could give you pointers on something you are already working on.
  • You then have the option to modify anything from the story’s text to the featured picture to the date and publication name. You can also add tags and generate a PDF from the URL, which is really nice if you do ever have to print out copies of your articles.

    I thought this site would be helpful with our portfolios. It gives advice on the five portfolio sites that it has chosen. It not only points out the good sites, but points out helpful features from each.
