Vertical52 designed and launched the HelpDesk for exile media to support newsrooms with no safe access to on the ground reporting or official sources.

You want to know which nuclear power plant in Europe is the most dangerous? Which bridges are at risk of collapse? Where in the world there are illegal mining activities. Where the forest is burning? How fast glaciers are melting. Hundreds of stories can be told and substantiated with data from space. Vertical52 brings them back to earth by analyzing data from satellites, more and more of which are orbiting the earth. Vertical52 supports investigative journalists and NGOs in their research, reaches its own audience with entertaining transmedia products and qualifies young journalists with its workshops on analyzing satellite and radar data.
