SAMPLE: How a visual investigation looks on Cachecrime

Every block, panel and field the CMS offers, shown in one place, using openly licensed satellite imagery of a port as the example scene.

Key findings

What this sample shows

This story is a demonstration. Every section below is one of the building blocks you can add in the CMS, filled with placeholder text so you can see how it looks to readers.

The example scene is a port, seen from space in openly licensed Sentinel-2 imagery. Nothing in the story describes a real event.

Text blocks

Text supports headings, bold, italics, links and lists:

Annotated image: numbered pins with callouts. On phones the pins become a numbered key.

Comparing images

A before/after slider lets readers drag between two images of the same place. The hero at the top of this story is one; you can also place one anywhere in the story:

A single image with caption, credit and source.

A pull quote highlights a key line from a source or document.
Sample attribution

What comes after the story

Below this point every story ends the same way: how we verified it, evidence files with checksums, sources with archived copies, corrections, credits, sharing, a citation line, the newsletter sign-up and recommended stories.

How we verified this

This sample shows where the methodology goes: the methods, tools and limitations behind each finding, written in plain language.

  1. Collect the material and archive every source.
  2. Geolocate it by matching features to satellite imagery.
  3. Establish timing from shadows, metadata and corroborating posts.
  4. Record what could not be verified.

Sources
