Why OSINT ≠ Tools
Plus new resources, insightful research, and the latest from the industry.
Hello from the OJ team,
This week, we highlight new tools, research, and commentary that show both the opportunities and the tensions shaping OSINT today.
We look at emerging capabilities that lower the barrier to large-scale searching and aggregation, alongside research that shows how investigators and journalists work with archived and open data in practice.
We also feature several reflections on the state of the profession itself - why judgment, structure, and analytical design matter as much as tooling, how organisations risk confusing output with insight, and where dependence on platforms and automation may introduce new blind spots.
As always, we close with key industry updates that point to broader shifts in technology, infrastructure, and intelligence practice.
