<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Dear Nathan, Â <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">I am a journalist
working with the German news agency (dpa) in Berlin. We are reporting a lot
today (as probably every other news company is, too) about the new
online-video, that allegedly shows US-Soldiers urinating on the bodies of three
Afghan people.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">While
discussing the matter, we found that noone here really knew exactly, how you
can actually prove the authenticity of an online-video - so we are looking for
an expert, that could tell us something about this. Patrick Meier suggested
you. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Would it be
possible for you to give me a short interview today in which we talk a little
about how you prove the authenticity of UGC-videos - what all is necessary, how
long it takes etc etc? That would be wonderful! Where and when can I get a hold
of you? And if you don't have the time or don't feel like it - could you
suggest someone else? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">If its better
for you, you can also answer via mail - here come the questions (I would need
the answers asap, unfortunately).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">1.) What do you do first
when you want to prove the authenticity of a youtube-video? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">2.) What other steps do
you take/what aspects do you especially pay attention to?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">3.) How long does this
process usually take? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Thank you so
much in advance for your help!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
