A method of verifying content of a news story with a computing system, comprising:
- a) monitoring published items with the computing system in a knowledge domain including one or more social network domains, news content domains, blog domains and/or message board domains;
- b) processing news content with the computing system in a first set of items published in said knowledge domain to extract at least a first set of events referenced in such news content;
- c) identifying at least a first event in said first set of events described in a first content item published in said knowledge domain;
- d) automatically verifying with the computing system if said first event in said first content item has occurred in fact;
- wherein said automatically verifying is performed automatically in real-time by checking one or more verification sources by constructing and retrieving results from an automated query based on first content keywords extracted from said first content item;
- and
- e) generating a verification rating for said first event indicating a result of said verification step (d).
