Again and again you send us images that have been taken out of context for review. Today we will show you which guide we use to check these.
Or how you can help yourself find the meaning of images and graphics. The following list is intended to serve as a guide on how to sort photos into context.
Adapted from the English-language original on firstdraftnews.com .
Just click through the tabs!
1. Is this an original photo?
2. WHO took the photo?
3. WHERE was the photo taken?
4. WHEN was the picture taken?
5. WHY was the photo taken?
This information can be printed out as a graphic! (Right mouse button: Save target as)
