Global Conflict Reporting, or GCR, has been active since 2020, providing breaking news, updates, and analysis on conflicts happening around the world. With almost daily reports and other content, GCR has become a helpful tool for those wanting to stay informed on all manner of conflicts.
Some of the conflicts covered include:
- The Global War on Terror
- The Russian invasion into Ukraine
- Houthi attacks on international Shipping
- The Syrian Civil War
- and more…
The majority (but not all) of the reporting done for GCR is based on what’s known as OSINT. OSINT is a term coined by the U.S. military in the 1980’s and means open–source intelligence. This is a technical term. It sounds fancier than what it actually encompasses. Essentially, it means using any and all publicly available information sources to conduct investigations and carry out reporting. Newspapers, magazines, broadcast media, academic publications, corporate records, and government documents are all things that would fall under the OSINT umbrella. Some newer important sources I would add to the list are social media posts and videos shot by cellphones and shared online. Social media posts can sometimes break down current events as they happen. Cell phone videos and images can be Geolocated using satellite imagery.
These are the types of sources that you yourself can easily access. While this isn’t the only form of intelligence used here, it is the main one and makes up the bulk of the sources.
GCR’s main goal has always been to inform its readers in a way that doesn’t bore them. The aim is to inform and teach while also keeping them engaged in the conversation. On a more personal level my goal would be to continue to expand GCR while continuing to build my skills. Writing, analysis and reporting as well as other skills like video editing and production.
