Ida B. Wells Society members are invited to participate in the USC Annenberg Annual Open Source Journalism Conference. Up to 10 members will have their conference registration waived to participate in this two-day training.
Open-Source Journalism, also known as OSINT, visual investigations, visual forensics, or digital investigations, is an innovative and powerful form of journalism. Such journalists use digital information — satellite imagery, photos and videos uploaded to social media, flight tracking data, audio recordings, cryptocurrency transactions, and much more — to uncover powerful stories and determine the facts of contested events.
The training will take place at USC in Los Angeles on October 9-10, 2026. If you are interested in having your conference registration waived, please apply here ASAP, as space is limited.
Members who are interested in attending, outside of this sponsorship can register at this link.
Educators and students are welcomed to register at a discount using “OSINTStudent26″ in the “Guest Code” field of the registration page.
