Journalism & Fact-Checking
Authenticate breaking news footage in real time. Verify eyewitness images, confirm where photos were actually taken, and protect your editorial integrity with geolocation evidence.
Built for newsrooms
Breaking News Verification
When a photo surfaces claiming to show an event in the Netherlands, verify it instantly. GeoPin returns precise coordinates so you can confirm whether the image matches the claimed location before you publish.
Eyewitness Footage Localization
Citizen journalism and social media tips often arrive without location data. Run eyewitness images through GeoPin to determine exactly where they were captured, adding geographic context to your reporting.
Source Verification
Confirm that photos submitted by stringers and freelance contributors actually show the locations they claim. Detect recycled images, stock photos presented as originals, and deliberate geographic misattribution.
Editorial Workflow Integration
Connect GeoPin to your CMS or fact-checking pipeline via the REST API. Automate location verification for incoming images so your team can focus on reporting rather than manual geolocation.
Verification in your pipeline
Image intake
A tip, social media post, or press photo reaches your newsroom. EXIF data is missing, stripped, or unreliable.
GeoPin analysis
Submit the image. GeoPin's visual matching engine searches millions of reference images and returns location candidates ranked by confidence.
Cross-reference
Compare GeoPin coordinates with the claimed location, check satellite imagery, and verify temporal consistency with weather or lighting conditions.
Publish with confidence
Add verified location data to your story. Document the verification chain for editorial transparency and audience trust.
Real-World Examples
Extreme weather events
Storm damage photos flood social media. Your newsroom receives dozens of unverified images. GeoPin quickly identifies which photos actually come from the affected area and which have been recycled from previous events.
Political rally verification
A political party claims a photo shows a large crowd at a rally in The Hague. GeoPin confirms the photo was taken at a different location in another city, allowing you to debunk the claim before it spreads further.
Investigative documentary
A documentary team receives anonymous photos of alleged environmental pollution along Dutch waterways. GeoPin pinpoints each image to specific locations, providing the geographic foundation for the investigation.
Protect your editorial integrity
In an era of manipulated media, geographic verification is essential. Give your newsroom the tools to confirm before you publish.
