How GeoDigg works

One event, many voices

A road closure might be covered by three news outlets, posted by the transportation agency and photographed by people nearby. GeoDigg shows that as one event with every source attached, instead of five near-identical headlines.

  1. Reports come in

    Local news, official notices and community updates from people who are there.

  2. It is placed on the map

    Each report is matched to the most precise place the evidence supports: a city, a county or a whole state. Never more precise than the facts.

  3. Reports become an event

    Reports about the same real occurrence are grouped together, with each original source kept and credited.

  4. People weigh in

    Neighbors add updates and photos, ask questions and dig the stories that matter. Post a report.

  5. Local stories can rise

    An event that matters locally can climb from its city to its county, its state and beyond, so small towns are not drowned out.
