Abstract
Many people have doubts about the factual accuracy of online news, while still trusting the press releases of police departments. To enable an easy corroboration of online news about police-related events, we build a search engine for press releases of police departments. Addressing the German “market”, the search engine takes the URL of a German piece of online news as input and retrieves relevant press releases of the German police. Comparing different query-by-document strategies in a TREC-style evaluation on 105 topics, we show that our system is able to accurately identify relevant press releases if there are any.
