TinEye has just one goal in life: To connect images and information. Whether that means finding the original author of an image, finding out where an image has been used on the web, or finding out more information about an image in general, TinEye wants to help you find the information you’re looking for. And the bigger our database of images, the better!

Photo authenticity in reporting
As TinEye scoops PEI news in the CBC reporting today I can’t help but think about the two blog posts that have been brewing in my head for a little while now: Authenticity of photographs in reporting (or editorial news) and Photo credits: and by photo credits I mean providing appropriate photo credits at all time. So there will be soon a longer blog post about both, in the meantime enjoy...
