RESOURCES FOR MEDIA

ISD equips media professionals with the analysis, tools and expertise needed to understand, communicate and address the risks posed by extremist propaganda and information manipulation.

We train journalists on the use of our dashboards, toolkits and curricula to help them recognize and counter extremist narratives, hate speech and disinformation. We brief newsrooms - more than 100 local ones in the US since 2024 – to help media outlets report accurately on complex issues related to extremism and social cohesion.

Our experts are routinely interviewed by international outlets to provide clarity on extremism, terrorism, hate speech and information warfare, including in the wake of major global crises.

Please get in touch if you have any media-related queries: [email protected].
