Journalism has undergone many changes in recent years. With the arrival and popularization of the branches of data journalism, verification and fact-checking, interest and curiosity in these aspects grows.

For this reason, the FCCOM compiles several manuals on investigative, verification and data journalism for the entire university community. They have been carried out by numerous journalists from prestigious media around the world, and are recommended and certified by organizations such as UNESCO or the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN).

First, the "Manual for Investigative Journalists: Investigation from stories". It has been written by Mark Lee Hunter, co-founder of the GIJN, with the collaboration of investigative journalists Nils Hanson, Rana Sabbagh, Luuk Sengers, Drew Sullivan, Flemming Tait Svith and Pia Thordsen and edited by UNESCO.

Second, the Data Journalism Manual, edited by the Argentine newspaper La Nación, Includes definitions, case studies, and advice on how to obtain, use, and analyze data. An initiative of the European Journalism Center and the Open Knowledge Foundation.

He too Ibero-American Data Journalism Manual is a free and open project, written voluntarily by dozens of journalists, programmers and designers from media outlets and organizations from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Its objective is to account for the state of Data Journalism in Ibero-America and to be a useful tool for developing Data Journalism in our countries.

Finally, in the field of "fact-checking" we find “Verification Manual: a definitive guide to verify digital content when covering emergencies”. Produced by the European Journalism Centre, it provides tools, techniques and step-by-step guides on how to deal with user-generated content during emergencies.
