WHO WE ARE
Intel Focus is an independent investigative platform at the intersection of open-source intelligence (OSINT), media literacy, and digital accountability. We were founded on a simple conviction:
"The power to investigate, verify, and hold accountable should not belong to a select few, it should belong to everyone."
We build capacity, surface the truth, and train the next generation of digital investigators, from journalists and activists to educators and engaged citizens.
THE INTELLIGENCE SPOTLIGHT
The Intelligence Spotlight series offers a front-row seat to the world of OSINT, geopolitics, and digital investigations. Each episode features in-depth conversations with leading investigators, journalists, academics, and experts as they unpack their latest work, explore the use of open-source tools, and break down complex topics.
Whether you're in the field or simply curious about how modern investigations unfold, this series brings you closer to the challenges, breakthroughs, and evolving landscape of intelligence, media verification, and fact-checking.
