Guide for journalists on using satellite data beyond images

The Fix, a media-industry publication, ran an analysis piece by Veronica Snoj on 14 October 2026 on how newsrooms can use satellite data that goes beyond ordinary pictures. It is a four-minute read filed under satellite imagery, technology and industry news.

The article's premise is that data captured outside the range of human vision can carry valuable information for reporting, but that its use comes with constraints that journalists need to take into account.

The article is part of The Fix's coverage of tools and practices for European newsrooms. It is the outlet's own analysis, with no accompanying product or programme announcement.

Why it matters: Newsrooms are drawing more on non-visual Earth observation data, such as multispectral and radar products. Geospatial specialists may be asked to help reporters interpret such data and explain its limits.
