The second edition of the EDMO BELUX Lunch Lectures took place on 17 April at 13:00-14:00 CEST. This time, we had the chance to welcome as our guest speaker Brecht Castel<\/strong>, an independent journalist and an expert in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), working for Knack since 2017, and as a regular fact-checker as part of a collaboration with Meta since 2020. He shares tutorials of his OSINT work on Twitter<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How can you do war journalism from behind your laptop? How can you debunk propaganda? And why does a journalist in Mali contact a guy in Belgium to check a viral video in his own country? Brecht’s presentation, titled ‚To the front line with OSINT‘<\/strong>, answered all these questions (and more).<\/p>\n

Missed it? <\/strong>You can now watch the recording here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EDMO BELUX Lunch Lectures are a series of informal gatherings on research topics such as disinformation, hate speech, polarisation, and digitalisation. During each Lunch Lecture, a guest speaker presents their work in a 30-minute talk, after which we open the floor for discussion. Lunch Lectures take place online and can be joined by everyone who is interested and who has registered beforehand.<\/p>\n

The first Lunch Lecture, „Measuring and defining informational vulnerability: a proposal at the intersection of psychology, political science and media studies“, with Gr\u00e9goire Lits took place on Monday 6 March, and you can find the recording here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
