"Journalists will need to pair technical verification with contextual analysis to uncover what visual material reveals, what it excludes, and how it shapes competing narratives," @stalebg.bsky.social writes.
Visual investigations become a mainstay of news
"Visual investigations are poised to move from niche desks to standard operating procedure in newsrooms in 2025."

Advanced Solar Geolocation Tutorial:
For everyone who works with geolocation or chronolocation, I wrote a guide for new method to locate images based only on the time and *a part* of a shadow.
In this scenario, object heights and full shadows are not necessary anymore.

Media industry platform adoption of Bluesky moving at lightning pace; the @financialtimes.com has a proper handle and is already using bluesky posts in their stories
Quoted in this story from Financial Times → What makes a bubble a bubble https://www.ft.com/content/c49e5394-5798-4e51-ab0a-d1517b89d741
Is he? Best time to call time on a bubble is when it’s about to pop. Otherwise, you’re just a Cassandra w/o bearings. Surely ppl overown and over invest the US partly out of lack of alternatives. Partly because U.S. productivity and profits are on roll.

Stockholm University's amadestam.bsky.social & team are making an "historical Google Earth" by digitizing 1.8 milion aerial photos from 60 countries (comissioned by 🇬🇧 between '39-'99). Potentially a very valuable source for doing historic visual investigations/OSINT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABvM...
