Intel Focus is an independent platform focused on OSINT, media literacy, fact-checking, information integrity, and the democratisation of digital investigative skills.
We investigate disinformation, publish verified fact-checks through our Reality Check Unit, and equip individuals and organisations with the tools to carry out digital investigations and respond to online hate.
We also produce The Intelligence Spotlight, featuring conversations with investigators, researchers and journalists, Afghanistan in Review, which examines key developments shaping Afghanistan, and Intel Focus Special, dedicated to timely and in-depth reporting on critical issues.
