Good morning! Today's newsletter is brought to you by Esther.

Adobe and news orgs are working on a new tool that could identify a photo’s origin — www.niemanlab.org

A picture can tell a thousand words...but a picture can also be incredibly misleading, if taken out of context or used to tell a different story. We've almost certainly all seen cases in the last few weeks of people taking photos and using them as a form of misinformation.

What if news consumers could see relevant information about a digital photo, like where and when it was taken and by whom, without having to do the reverse image search check? When I first read about this, it seemed so obvious I was surprised no one had done it already. But increasingly, ownership and origins of digital files are becoming more important.

Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) is developing tools and standards that would allow people to capture, store and verify key details about a photo, and then display that information online. It's all in the early stages, but it'll be interesting to see how it gets put into practice, especially with Twitter on board.

The ‘reliability and quality’ of news content plays a significant role in achieving brand safety, new study finds — digiday.com

A new study by IPG in partnership with Disney's Ad Sales unit has found that the source of the news a brand appears in is more important than the content around the ad. It's another piece to add to the growing body of evidence that publisher sites are a great place to spend ad money: last year, the IAB released a report on the 'halo effect' for brands advertising on news sites.
