It's not easy to share things when the news gets hot<\/strong> and that continuous news channels, but above all social networks, multiply the dissemination of information and images to infinity.<\/p>\n

A powerful image alone is a story that can spread at phenomenal speed.<\/strong> It is an opportunity in this dark period to recall some basic principles that are learned (or should be learned) in all schools of journalism before broadcasting or reproducing an image: Establishing who is the author. Corroborate the location, date and approximate time at which the image was taken. Confirm that the image matches what it says it shows and finally get permission from the author or sender to use it. Maybe I forget about it.<\/p>\n

Not so obvious for everyone, here are some simple tools to avoid being manipulated by unverified images. Even if sometimes these are not verifiable. To put in all hands.<\/p>\n

TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search<\/strong> are two fairly well-known tools for searching for images similar to the image to be checked. Both are extremely handy, you can either upload the image or indicate the URL of the page where it is located. TinEye alone has more than 13 trillion images. If the result refers to several images as a rule, the image with the highest resolution leads to the original source. Thus, an image that is presented as having been taken at the moment may have been disseminated several months or even years earlier.<\/p>\n

Fotoforensics and Findexif.<\/strong> Two other tools that will allow you to go one step further in your images. With the development of digital images, they contain a lot of information that is not visible to the naked eye. EXIF data or metadata. Incorporated in the image itself you should read, among other things, if it is an original image, the mark of the camera that took the photo, date and time dimensions, focal lengths, etc. Fotoforensics and Findexif both work in the same way. As with the reverse search seen earlier, you can either upload the image you want to check or indicate a URL if it is online.<\/p>\n

Google Maps and Bing Maps.<\/strong> Was the image you want to check taken where you are told it was taken?\u00a0Play your eye to detect a detail that could put you on a track. Google Maps or Bing Maps allow you to place the image on a map. Google Street Maps will offer you photos of the place if the scene takes place in a city.<\/p>\n
