How InSight Crime Monitors the News
InSight Crime
Research and analysis on organized crime and corruption in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Our work requires us to closely monitor the latest organized crime-related news in the Americas and beyond. So how do we do it?
Over the years, we have crafted a multi-layered system that helps us rapidly scoop up and sift through huge amounts of information.?
Much of our news monitoring relies on a computer-assisted search of online resources. A custom-built platform automatically scans dozens of sources each day. Then, human investigators verify the results and store relevant items in a searchable internal database.?
Our investigators also keep in contact with primary sources, like government agencies and other research organizations, whose reports and press releases are also saved to our internal database.
Additionally, our communications team monitors social media platforms and search engines to identify emerging stories and trending topics.
We discuss the results of our monitoring in a daily meeting, where we develop ideas for timely and informative news analysis articles on current issues like gang violence in Haiti and Ecuador , and the recent drug trafficking conviction of Honduran ex-President Juan Orlando Hernández .
Our news monitoring also helps us collect data that we use for big-picture explainer pieces like our annual homicide and cocaine round-ups.?
Staying on top of the headlines allows us to take our readers beyond the surface, explaining the dynamics driving the latest developments in organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean.?

7 个月Es muy interesante su metodología, sin embargo la misma requiere de la comprensión, contextualización y revisión de estudiosos de la región o país en análisis. Saludos cordiales y un gusto poder dialogar en estos espacios.

7 个月Bolivarians Narcostates like Venezuela, Colombia and Bolivia finance and have strategic criminal bands in all. Panama its kind of corridor - BOCAS DEL TORO where cocaine traffic to USA its possible. And Pacific zone like Cocle Panama. But USA antinarco strategy is the worst. Now "tren de arragua is in USA territory , they send money to criminals band in Ecuador, Colombia Panama and Venezuela. why??? poor borders migration control. USA guardcoast and migration officers confuse humantirarims with NARCO OPERATION. Tren de Aragua hide members in humanitarian migrants, kind of invation. Like in Colombia when expresident Duque did humanitarian peromition, now Colombia has a lots of Criminals from venezuelans narcoband member here. They earn ressourses here and move to Ecuador, Chile, Cariben .... why USA has alots of navy and migration machinary and do nothing. The worst. We need attack Maduro narcostate and Colombian Narco (Farc and cartels golfo)) hard like when stomped Nazi parasites. United and Strong. ?
