I’m an obsessive collector of digital tools and techniques to help with investigations. I use Twitter lists, email newsletters and Google Alerts to keep a steady stream of new and interesting links and ideas coming at me. Every once in a while I’ll pull together a collection of interesting/useful things I’ve come across thanks to wonderful folks in the journalism, OSINT and infosec communities.
The first edition is below. As you might expect, there’s a few items related to AI. Enjoy, and be sure to follow/subscribe to the people behind this stuff.
One last thing: I’m helping teach an online course that starts June 12: Advanced digital investigations: How reporters can dig into online information and sources. It’s a five-week course with video lectures, readings, online discussions, and guest speakers. We’ll cover topics such as digital workflow, investigating online sources, websites, and digital ads. The course is asynchronous, meaning you can complete it on your own time. It costs US $95. The course info and signup just went live so please take a look!
