The local perspective is a critical element in virtually any story,
and Google Earth is the only solution that lets broadcasters and publishers
zoom-in to any location on the earth in seconds, wherever and whenever
a story is unfolding. Google Earth gives the media critical tools for understanding
and relating the story in real time.

• Compelling visual displays of fly-throughs and perspectives for both
  on-air use and print applications
• In-depth earth data including over 100 global cities in high resolution,
  the entire US/Canada/Europe road network, location-coded yellow pages listings
  for millions of businesses, plus key neighborhood features including hospitals,
  churches and schools.
• Valuable data overlays such as the locations of airports and political boundaries.

Google Earth received national attention during the Iraq war
when CNN and other broadcast media utilized Google Earth solutions to show
satellite imagery of Baghdad on air. Today Google Earth is in use by broadcast
and print media across the US and the world, from CNN to the New York Times.
