Aqwam Fiazmi Hanifan

Aqwam Hanifan is an Indonesian journalist with more than 15 years of experience as a reporter, producer, and field correspondent, including coverage of major crises and conflicts across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. His work spans breaking-news reporting, long-form investigations, and documentary-style storytelling, often focused on accountability and the human impact of conflict and policy.

Since 2016, he has used open-source research (OSINT) as a core part of his journalism, combining field reporting with digital verification, data analysis, and visual forensics. He regularly shares these methods through talks and trainings for media organizations, universities, and public institutions in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, helping journalists and stakeholders understand how open-source evidence can strengthen public-interest reporting.

He has collaborated on cross-border investigations with outlets such as Jaring.id/Jaring.tv, The New York Times Visual Investigations, BBC Eye, The Guardian, De Groene Amsterdammer, and Mediapart. He has also contributed to digital investigations with NGOs including Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and Human Rights Watch. Increasingly, his reporting is designed for video-first platforms, where he works across the full production process—research, scripting, editing, and visual storytelling—to make complex issues accessible to wider audiences.

His work has earned multiple awards and international recognition in Indonesia, across Asia, and within the Global South.
