For publishers & newsrooms

Your newsroom,
Article 50
ready.

Your audience is learning to distrust video. Verika gives you documentary footage from named institutional archives — with a cryptographic chain of custody your editorial team can publish alongside the story.

EU AI Act Article 50 takes effect August 2, 2026. AI-generated or AI-assisted content must carry provenance metadata. Every Verika production ships with a C2PA manifest — compliant by design, not by retrofit.

Your readers are starting to ask: is this footage real?

Synthetic video is now indistinguishable from real footage at first glance. For publishers, that's not just a technology problem — it's an editorial credibility problem. When a reader can't tell whether the B-roll in your documentary is archival or AI-generated, your masthead takes the risk.

Traditional production houses don't solve this. They source from the same stock libraries as everyone else, deliver without provenance metadata, and charge $5,000–$15,000 per video with 4–8 week turnaround times.

Verika is the alternative. Every clip is sourced from a named institutional archive. Every production ships with a machine-readable manifest your editorial team can verify. And it's delivered in 12 hours, not 8 weeks.
