Coordinated inauthentic media networks were spreading synchronized narratives across APAC, but their structure was opaque to individual newsrooms.

Mapped ownership and syndication patterns across outlets using network analysis and archived scrape data.

Findings informed three partner newsrooms' verification workflows and were cited in a regional media-literacy report.

Newsroom teams lacked a practical, non-technical entry point into geolocation and verification tooling.

Broke down real case walkthroughs on a podcast episode, then expanded into a live panel discussion for practitioners.

The episode is now cited by trainers; the panel recording serves as onboarding material for new researchers.

Fact-checking teams across the region used inconsistent, ad hoc verification steps with no shared curriculum.

Built a structured slide-deck curriculum covering metadata analysis and reverse image search, tested across multiple workshops.

Adopted as the standard onboarding module for APAC Fact-Checking Alliance workshops.

Regional reporters needed hands-on digital-safety training, not just written guides.

Ran in-person sessions across Southeast Asia covering hardware security keys, threat modeling, and safe workflows.

Trained cohorts across multiple countries; several participants now lead their own newsroom security trainings.
