Im Sog von Sandy werden derzeit die sozialen Netzwerken mit Impressionen vom Frankenstorm (in New York) geflutet. Alexis C. Madrigal sammelt beim Atlantic populäre Fotos und sortiert in Fake und Real. Nicht immer so einfach, wie auf dem Foto oben.
With Hurricane Sandy approaching the New York metro area, the
nation's eyes are turning to its largest city. Photos of storms and
flooding are popping up all over Twitter, and while many are real, some
of them -- especially the really eye-popping ones -- are fake. This
post, which will be updated over the next couple of days, is an effort
to sort the real from the unreal. It's a photograph verification
service, you might say, or a pictorial investigation bureau. If you see a
picture that looks fishy, send it to me at
alexis.madrigal[at]gmail.com.
