Scheduled Training
Open-Source Intelligence
Advanced internet research has become a key part of the investigative journalist’s toolkit. Our training in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gives participants an understanding of how to access open-source information that is freely available online but is often hidden, providing powerful tools for verification, fact-checking and deep investigative research.
