ISD resources for Media

ISD equips media professionals with the tools and resources they need to combat extremism and information manipulation. We provide training for journalists on the use of our dashboards, toolkits and curricula, enhancing their ability to recognise and counter extremist narratives, hate speech and disinformation. Since 2024, we have briefed more than 100 local US newsrooms, empowering media outlets to report accurately on complex issues related to extremism and social cohesion. Our experts are routinely interviewed by international outlets to provide clarity into extremism, terrorism, hate and information warfare, including in the wake of major global crises.
