Forensic archiving of press articles and media reports – ensuring transparent preservation of public coverage
Press articles and media reports relating to a relevant matter may be amended, supplemented or removed by the source over time.
In the context of existing cases, we preserve relevant reports in a manner that is forensically verifiable, in order to permanently document their original content.

Typical areas of application
This is how the forensic archiving of media reports works
Relevant press articles are identified and archived using methods suitable for forensic purposes, including screenshots, the full text, timestamps and, where possible, hash values.
Why is the forensic archiving of media reports important?
As articles can be amended or deleted at a later date, a timely, forensically traceable backup is crucial to ensure they can be used at a later stage.
Clear documentation also makes it easier for the content to be accepted as evidence in proceedings under press law.
