This is not a new story, but I am amazed with how data  and metadata can aide and add more depth and impact to journalism. Today's technology really adds value to reporting or journalism as a whole. 


 Malachy Browne's use of forensic mapping to verify a chemical attack was indeed very helpful in proving that the attack was staged.

Hello to all,

I know this story. It constitutes a very good example of the different use one can give to metadata, and how important it is for anyone doing verification of video content. This story also helps people understand very well the different steps in verifying if a video is real or not.
