    The Craft of Responsibility - Journalism and OSINT I Season 2 Ep. 5

    In this episode... Open-source intelligence goes beyond tools and techniques—it’s about making ethical decisions and understanding the real-world impact of information. In this episode, Olivia Pirie-Griffiths, Non-Executive Director at the Alliance for Journalists’ Freedom and former Director of Impact and Engagement at the Centre for Information Resilience, explores how OSINT intersects with journalism to strengthen truth, trust and democracy. Olivia makes the case for OSINT as a vital tool in the quest for truth, the need to back journalism with real protections, and why working together – not alone – is key to fixing what’s broken in our information systems.    This conversation challenges us to rethink not just what we uncover with OSINT, but how we present it—and the ethical implications that come with that responsibility. What You’ll Learn OSINT in Journalism: How open-source methods are becoming essential for verifying information and combating disinformation.The Ethics of Information: The challenges OSINT practitioners and journalists face when using publicly available information, and how they can uphold integrity in their work.Shaping Public Trust: The importance of defining journalism’s role in democracy and how OSINT can be used to reinforce credibility and transparency in the media.
