The Affective Epistemology of Digital Journalism
in this paper, we seek to introduce the term "affective epistemology" into digital journalism studies. Building on twenty-seven interviews with media workers reporting on the Russo-Ukrainian War and digital documentation analysis, we address the following research questions: What is the epistemic value of media practitioners' emotions? how do emotional attachments shape how media professionals and open-source analysts navigate fact-finding and ne…
On the Institutionalization of Osinv in Journalistic Practice
Open-source intelligence investigations (OSI) have slowly transformed from an ad hoc, grassroots practice relegated to internet sleuths into an increasingly formalized and well-structured technique for journalistic research. By leveraging publicly available data, such as satellite images, social media posts, or official records, to expose misinformation and create actionable insights, organizations like Bellingcat or Forensic Architecture have us…
The Alternative Epistemologies of Data Activism
As datafication progressively invades all spheres of contemporary society, citizens grow increasingly aware of the critical role of information as the new fabric of social life. This awareness triggers new forms of civic engagement and political action that we term “data activism”. Data activism indicates the range of sociotechnical practices that interrogate the fundamental paradigm shift brought about by datafication. Combining Science and Tech…
Leaky Apps and Data Shots
The NSA disclosures have put the issue of surveillance at center stage, and with that, a range of technologies by which data are captured. This article aims to break up devices for data collection by discussing devices that leak data versus devices that are inserted into computers or networks in order to capture data. Taking a post-Foucauldian trajectory within surveillance theory as a point of reference, in which conceptual frameworks tended to …
Forensic devices for activism
The central topic of this paper is a mobile phone application, 'InformaCam', which turns metadata from a surveillance risk into a method for the production of public proof. InformaCam allows one to manage and delete metadata from images and videos in order to diminish surveillance risks related to online tracking. Furthermore, it structures and stores the metadata in such a way that the documentary material becomes better accommodated to evidenti…
