Why Image Source Transparency Matters
Documentary investigations rely heavily on visual evidence, historical archives, and scientific imagery. Maintaining transparent image credits allows viewers to verify sources and understand the origins of visual material used in DidjaKnow investigations.
By clearly documenting satellite imagery providers, public archives, and licensed creative platforms, DidjaKnow ensures that all visual materials are used responsibly and in accordance with their licensing terms. This transparency supports the documentary mission of examining historical, archaeological, and scientific questions through verifiable sources.
