Realtime (or almost) images for journalists:

How to find and use satellite images for your stories

Blog post and video recording of the event [1]

One of the problems COVID has created for journalists and our work is to prevent us from reporting in person. That makes telling stories tough and getting images almost impossible. Remote reporting techniques can help with storytelling, but sometimes a satellite image from the scene would be useful. How can we get it? We’ll explain why obtaining current images is so difficult, show you what’s available, and explain how to best access them. We’ll even talk about how to use your images to the greatest effect. Our guests are doing cutting-edge work in this area, helping major news organizations, including Reuters and the New York Times, with their stories. Now they’re here to help you, and to answer your questions.
