Apologies for cross-posting. Thought many on this list that look at online news imagery would find of great interest my latest that looks at a 48 hour period last week of over 1.3 million news images from news outlets worldwide and ran them all through Image::ExifTool to pull all of the available metadata fields out of each image. In total there were more than 5,000 distinct metadata fields found across the collection. Various statistics on the average age of news images (just over a third of news images that contain date information are from the last 24 hours, while more than a quarter of news images are more than a year old, reflecting file and stock photos), while mobile phones are found to account for a growing fraction of news imagery: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/10/19/the-hidden-world-of-news... For those interested in deep diving, here is a special extract of just the metadata in JSON format: http://blog.gdeltproject.org/vgkg-2-0-metadata-stats-at-2-weeks/ ~Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/
