Last year I was going through some old family photos, and decided to geolocate one of them on a whim — the birth place of my great-grandfather in Scanno, Italy. I found way more than I expected. My journey down the rabbit hole appears this week w/ @NYTmag. https://t.co/Sns2DqoT1M

My day job is with @nytimes Visual Investigations team which uses some of the same digital sleuthing techniques featured in this story to hold the powerful to account. Follow our work here: https://t.co/FGGDEi6R3W
"A satellite image captured on Jan. 24 shows ~170 burial plots in an area of the cemetery known to hold Wagner fighters, a number that has increased to nearly seven times that seen on satellite imagery just two months ago." By @trbrtc@dim109. 📸 @Maxar. https://t.co/eT0krxFi45
A thread about geolocation, family history and the art of photography: it begins with this photo I found in my mother’s basement. She took it while visiting Scanno, Italy in the 1960’s. This is the house where my great grandfather was born in 1893. I wanted to find its location.
.@@bottidavid's day job is on The Times’ Visual Investigations unit, which usually involves things like analyzing footage of the Capitol Riots. But could he use these same skills to find his great-grandfather’s house in a tiny village in Italy? https://t.co/niHZkorYKN
I hope Day of Rage "will serve as a core historical documenting of what transpired — and how. We needed to establish the basic truths of that day before fuller accounting could truly begin."

Well done to the @DayofRage team, on the #Oscars shortlist for documentary short. It's a rare film to come from newsroom reporting and specifically the Visual Investigations team (listed below)

This week our @nytimes Visual Investigations team published its longest piece ever: an in-depth account of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol - the capstone to a large body of work on 1/6 by this team. I want to tell you a little more about this as a whole. https://t.co/hHzV13aUNg
@EricSchmittNYT@ronenbergman In 2019, @nytvideo explored the complicated history and significance of the Al Tanf base — and why it's so difficult for the U.S. to give it up. https://t.co/wlS5EH3I3o
New reporting from @EricSchmittNYT & @ronenbergman finds that last month's drone strike on the U.S.-backed Al Tanf base was Iranian retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in Syria. https://t.co/MjdPdbWmLI
