Chronolocation

Meaning in journalism & media, with examples

nounAdvanced term

In journalism & media, chronolocation means: Determining when visual material was recorded by examining time-related clues.

In Turkish: görüntünün çekilme zamanını belirleme

How it is used

Combine clues such as shadows, building changes and dated events; an upload date alone need not be the recording date.
