Hello and happy new year!
In this edition we focus on practical OSINT tradecraft and current shifts in the information environment.
We look at how to track state-backed narratives across platforms, how to monitor and investigate human rights violations in near real time, and share practical tips on making LLM prompts more precise.
We also highlight crowdsourced mapping efforts from Venezuela, including geolocated footage and open-source maps of military units.
Finally, we cover recent developments shaping the field, including cognitive warfare and emerging risks to language models, and ongoing discussions about how OSINT continues to evolve.
