And "OSINT" is a fad term for what used to be called journalism, preferred by journalists who sadly identify more with their countries intelligence services than with their fellow journalists. They often do good work, but it's a sad trend. In many ways it's Julian Assange's original vision for Wikileaks: collaborative (thus "wiki") analysis of verifiable public information, but co-opted by powerful interest groups and states.
