Visual Investigations is a new form of accountability and explanatory journalism that combines traditional reporting with advanced digital forensics, such as collecting and parsing information from large volumes of videos, photos and audio, analysis of satellite imagery and 3-D reconstructions of crime scenes.
The Visual Investigations team has retraced the path of a bullet that killed a Palestinian medic in Gaza, reconstructed the Las Vegas shooting from cellphone footage and police audio, debunked the Syrian government’s about chemical weapons attacks, exposed false narratives pushed by U.S. officials about the burning of humanitarian aid to Venezuela, identified the Saudi suspects in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, forced the U.S. military to admit carrying an airstrike on a civilian home in Afghanistan and documented how Russia is repeatedly bombing hospitals in Syria.
