Open Source Intelligence Navigator For Investigative Journalists

Description

The GIZ Global Program combating illicit financial flows (GP IFF) supports investigative journalists from the region of Western Balkans to aid to the global agenda of fighting illicit financial flows. In cooperation with the Balkan Investigative reporters’ network (BIRN) we have addressed the opensource data gathering applicable for journalists. We hope that this “Navigator” will assist journalists in their research and investigations and will prove to be a useful tool which arose as an outcome of previously conducted training with the BIRN journalists “Open Source Intelligence for Journalists” that was held on 21-22 May 2019 in Skopje, North Macedonia. This guide was updated in October 2021 to reflect the many changes in tools and sources available since 2019. Developers of the navigator: Ludo Block and Andrej Petrovski.
