About This Session

How can journalists use remote investigation techniques to report on inaccessible conflict zones and high-risk areas? Whether it’s due to conflict, government restrictions, or environmental barriers, journalists often face the challenge of gathering credible information without being on the ground. Panel attendees learn practical applications of open source research tools, satellite data analysis, and remote verification methods. The session demonstrates how exiled journalists and remote investigators leverage these technologies to uncover war crimes, monitor developments, and produce verifiable stories, showcasing innovative approaches to overcome reporting barriers.All sessions are first-come, first-serve. That means people who arrive first will get seats. Be aware that some sessions are in relatively small rooms and they will fill up quickly.
