Abstract

The study presents the beginning and the development of open source intelligence. When modern intelligence services were born, the OSINT – although without a specific name – was second to none of other intelligence gathering methods and was primarly used in the analysis and reporting work. Focusing on maps was an early phenomenon, too. Different personal registers soon enabled the person-focused OSINT. OSINT sources and products were archivated and searched regularly. With the differentiation of secret intelligence, only alonestanding OSINT products appeared. Press mirrors can be considered an important OSINT genre, which could be easily developed to IT based media mirror.

Keywords:
