Bulletin from the Shadows offers ongoing analysis of the media and messaging strategies of militant and extremist groups operating across the Middle East and beyond. Grounded in primary source materials—official statements, video productions, audio messages, and digital publications—this bulletin decodes how these actors craft narratives, issue calls to action, and frame unfolding political and military developments. In this bulletin, I treat propaganda as a deliberate, strategic tool, central to how these groups project power, sustain relevance, and adapt to shifting conditions.
The bulletin provides a continuous resource for tracking narrative shifts, identifying ideological recalibrations, and understanding the communicative logic that underpins extremist behavior. By analyzing how messaging operates across linguistic, ideological, and regional contexts, it equips policymakers, researchers, and security professionals with the analytical depth needed to interpret threats, anticipate strategic turns, and better understand the intersection of media, violence, and political ambition.
