Participatory War, Mediatized Intelligence, and the Militarization of Journalism: How Anonymous OSINT Accounts Shape Corporate News Discourse

Abstract

This study explores the convergence of media and war, analyzing the Russia-Ukraine conflict through the lenses of journalism’s militarization, participatory media and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). Anonymous OSINT accounts providing conflict tracking are increasingly cited by mainstream media. This article aims to reveal how OSINT discourses militarize media narratives through participatory intelligence practices. Within this framework, news reports on the Russia-Ukraine war from Bloomberg, Business Insider, The Economist, Newsweek, New York Times, CNN, and Forbes that reference X accounts OSINTtechnical, Intelschizo, and GeoConfirmed were analyzed using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. In light of the findings, it was observed that participatory warfare is reflected in news texts, where the discursive practices of different social actors/domains and OSINT narratives merge with event-reporting news discourse to create a hybrid media discourse. Findings demonstrate that OSINT discourses significantly influence corporate media, integrating technical, strategic, operational, and analytical military intelligence elements into journalistic language.

Guerre participative, renseignement médiatisé et militarisation du journalisme : comment les comptes OSINT anonymes façonnent-ils le discours des médias corporate ?

Abstract

Cette étude explore la convergence entre médias et guerre en analysant le conflit russo-ukrainien à travers la militarisation du journalisme, les médias participatifs et l'OSINT. Les comptes OSINT anonymes sont de plus en plus cités par les médias grand public. Cet article vise à révéler comment les discours de l'OSINT militarisent les récits médiatiques. Dans ce cadre, les reportages de Bloomberg, Business Insider, The Economist, Newsweek, NYT, CNN et Forbes citant les comptes X OSINTtechnical, Intelschizo et GeoConfirmed ont été analysés via l'analyse critique du discours de Norman Fairclough. À la lumière des résultats, il apparaît que la guerre participative se reflète dans les textes, où les pratiques discursives de divers acteurs et les récits OSINT fusionnent avec le discours journalistique pour créer un discours médiatique hybride. Les conclusions démontrent que l'OSINT influence significativement les médias en intégrant des éléments d'intelligence militaire technique ve analytique au langage journalistique.

Katılımcı Savaş, Medyatikleşmiş İstihbarat ve Gazeteciliğin Militarizasyonu: Anonim OSINT Hesapları Kurumsal Haber Söylemini Nasıl Şekillendiriyor?

Abstract

Bu çalışma, medya-savaş yakınsamasını ele almakta ve Rusya-Ukrayna savaşını gazeteciliğin militarizasyonu, katılımcı medya ve açık kaynak istihbaratı (OSINT) çerçevesinde değerlendirmektedir. Sosyal medyada çatışma takibi gerçekleştiren anonim OSINT hesapları, ana akım medya kuruluşlarının savaş haberlerinde referans gösterilebilmektedir. Makale, OSINT söylemlerinin kurumsal medya söylemini katılımcı istihbarat pratikleri aracılığıyla nasıl askerîleştirdiğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, sosyal medya platformu X’te aktif olan OSINTtechnical, Intelschizo ve GeoConfirmed’e başvuru yapan Bloomberg, Business Insider, The Economist, Newsweek, New York Times, CNN ve Forbes tarafından yayımlanan Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı konulu haberler, Norman Fairclough’un Eleştirel Söylem Analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, katılımcı savaş durumlarının savaş haberi metnine yansıdığı; farklı toplumsal aktörlerin/alanların söylem pratiklerinin ve silahlı çatışma olaylarıyla etkileşime giren OSINT anlatılarının olay bildiren haber söylemiyle kaynaşarak hibrit bir medya söylemi oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda OSINT söylemlerinin kurumsal medya söylemini etkilediği ve askerî istihbarata ilişkin teknik, stratejik, operasyonel ve analitik unsurların haber diliyle bütünleştiği ortaya konulmuştur.
