Honored to guest lecture a class as part of @henkvaness #osint course at @Cronkite_ASU this week to talk about Visual Forensics' work at The Washington Post.
I am excited that @ElyseSamuels will be a part of our #osint course at @Cronkite_ASU. She will tell us how the @washingtonpost uses geolocation, how they find videos, how verification works, and how she makes #osint based materials on a daily basis.
