FilmoGaz cannot file a story about Maria Eduarda Rodrigues De Freitas without the basic verified facts; before we write, send the single-sentence description of what happened, the exact date and time, and the primary source for that claim.
Start with the one line that defines the event: what specifically occurred, where it occurred (city and country), and when. If there are numbers that matter—people affected, amounts, counts—list them with their source documents (police reports, company filings, court dockets, medical records, or official statements). If a person provided the account, identify them, their role, and whether they are an eyewitness, a participant, or a representative.
Who else is directly affected? Tell us names, titles and affiliations for the people, teams, companies or institutions tied to the event. Provide work email addresses or phone numbers for at least two on-the-record contacts we can call, and any available public records that corroborate employment, ownership or official capacity. If a location is under a different jurisdiction, note that clearly—list the city, county and country so we can confirm which authorities hold records.
Why does this matter today? If there is a deadline, time-sensitive legal window, or an imminent hearing, state the date and the decision-maker. If a document will be filed or a hearing will occur, supply the filing number, court name, or hearing schedule and where we can view the filing. If the matter is not time-sensitive, say so; we will still verify, but the pace changes.
We need direct evidence: scanned documents, links to public records, photographs with metadata or original files, audio or video with timestamps and a chain-of-custody statement, and any relevant correspondence (emails, letters). For digital files, indicate how we can authenticate them—who created them, when, and how we can verify the file’s origin. Do not send unauthenticated screenshots without the underlying records.
Provide at least one on-the-record quote from a primary participant or an institution representing them. If sources prefer to speak off the record or on background, label that clearly and give us two independent, on-the-record sources who can corroborate the same facts. If there are conflicting accounts, supply both versions and the evidence supporting each so we can report the discrepancy and the provenance of each claim.
Flag any legal restrictions or protective orders, and tell us whether releasing names or documents could violate confidentiality agreements or local law. If a guardian, counsel, or publicist is the proper channel, give their contact details and any required paperwork we must complete to secure an interview or documents.
If you have previous coverage, archival materials, or a timeline assembled by an authoritative entity, attach that timeline and the source for every entry. If you want FilmoGaz to coordinate on-the-ground reporting in the United States (ET), tell us whether we will have access to the scene, permits we should seek, or security concerns our reporters must be aware of.
Be concise and specific. We will not accept broad claims without primary evidence. Tell us the single most important unresolved question you expect our story to answer and supply the documents or contacts that could answer it. If you can meet those conditions, FilmoGaz will prepare a focused news report; if not, we will note that key facts remain unverified and hold the piece until they are supplied.
Send materials to the newsroom inbox with the subject line: "Verification request — Maria Eduarda Rodrigues De Freitas." If you cannot provide the records we ask for, tell us explicitly what you can provide and why the missing records are unavailable. That clarity is essential so we can decide whether to publish immediately or await further verification.
