Summer School of Investigative Reporting 2025 Sessions
Geolocation and Visual Investigation
In this session, participants will explore how to harness open-source techniques and visual clues to uncover, verify and analyse digital evidence found online.
Through hands-on examples, the training will show how even the most ordinary elements in a photo or video can reveal the exact location of an event.
Attendees will learn how to cross-reference visuals with publicly available satellite imagery, maps, and metadata, and use investigative tools like Google Earth, Street View and reverse image search to build solid geolocation findings.
