A research journal for the social signal

What we publish

Social Knowing publishes periodic, citable reports on how public conversations are distributed, amplified, and skewed. Live dashboards answer the question what is happening right now? Our reports answer the harder one: what does it mean, and can I quote you on it? Every edition states a finding, dates it, shows the method behind it, and stands still so it can be cited.

Who it is for

Reporters, researchers, OSINT analysts, and policy staff who need a finding they can cite rather than a dashboard they have to interpret. Each report hands over the conclusion, states its limits, and links to the live instruments so the work is checkable.

How we work

• Every figure comes from live social-listening instruments built on the Socialhose Public API; nothing is hand-assembled.
• Findings are frozen at publication. The live boards carry the current numbers; the reports are the fixed record.
• Each edition is built on a signature instrument, such as the Framing Gap or the Voice Gap, that reads the same data along two dimensions and measures the distance between them.
• Limits are stated, not buried. Our methodology is the standard that underwrites every finding.

The record so far

• The Sudan Conversation Report (Edition 01)
• The Texas Healthcare Conversation Report (Edition 02)
• The Signal Index (Vol. 01)

We read 2 live listening instruments today, and every new instrument becomes a new edition.
