The GDELT Full Text Search API now offers an exciting new output option that generates a thumbnail collage of the social sharing images for matching articles. Only those articles containing a social sharing image are displayed. Sorting is controlled by the standard "sortby" query command. Images are tiled using CSS left floats, ensuring that images appear in a grid that spans the width of the viewport and wraps from line to line to create a continual filled grid of images. This option allows you to create powerful visual summaries of your searches to best understand how they are being represented through their underlying visual narratives and to browse for the most visually relevant coverage.

To enable this output option use the URL parameter "output=artimgonlycollage".
