Service Description

Social media can be a treasure map if you know where to look. This workshop goes beyond basic searches and shows how to uncover meaningful patterns across online platforms. **Find the full digital footprint** Learn how to identify accounts on mainstream and alternative platforms and how to use advanced search techniques to surface posts, images, interactions and connections that may otherwise remain buried. **Watch what changes** Websites and profiles evolve. Sometimes they disappear. You will learn how to use tools like the Wayback Machine, Klaxon and change-tracking platforms to see what was added, shifted or quietly erased online. **Turn the pieces into insight** From unusual travel patterns to affiliations with lobbyists, donors, companies or advocacy groups, social media can reveal inconsistencies or leads that deepen your reporting. This session shows how to read these clues and connect them back to your broader investigation. You will leave with sharper digital instincts and practical skills for using social media as a dynamic investigative tool.
