Two journals
Both journals contain a selection of already existing articles. Fringe Intelligence offers articles on not yet
established intelligence news and on intelligence news next to mainstream. Fringe Spitting focuses on
news and tools for freedom of information specialists, investigative journalists and researchers. Both jour-
nals are free of charge and biweeklies. Subscribers receive four journals per month: together containing
more than 200 articles.
In Fringe Intelligence articles ranging from intelligence and counterintelligence, via criminal intelligence
and counter terrorism to parapolitics and other topics with intelligence aspects.
In Fringe Spitting news and tools for research and freedom of information, and also recently -via FOIA
requests- disclosed new old news partly intelligence related.
Almost all articles are internet downloads; 90+% is in English. The quality is the quality of the source.

This circulation means that both journals have each in its own sector, respectively OSINT and FOIA, a top
five position in the global circulation ranking of independent email journals and mailing lists.
55% of the subscribers are intelligence specialists, 30% journalists and 15% FOIA specialists. They live in
91 countries: 35% in NL, 5% in UK, 30% in US and 30% in the rest of the world. 15% of the subscribers

The publisher: Roger Vleugels


In 1986 I started my own office and my work as legal advisor and lecturer specialized in freedom of infor-
mation and intelligence. Next to this regular work I publish since 2001 the Fringe journals.
I lectured on journalism basics, investigative journalism and FOIAs on journalism schools, on universities
and in company for students in or from Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary,
Italy, Ireland, Macedonia, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and UK [outside Europe: Aruba, Indo-
nesia, Iran and Turkey]. As legal advisor I filed since 1988 more than 3,000 FOIA requests for my clients,
most of them journalists.
At the beginning my work was focused on forensic intelligence research only. In other words I started at
the climax of non-transparency. As intelligence specialist I research, lecture, comment in the press, brief
members of parliament and give advice to journalists and lawyers.

Surfing, searching, stringers and sources


The article gathering for Fringe is for a large part based on a small group of Dutch and foreign overt and
covert stringers. Additionally my own gathering is based on surfing the net and on more than hundred
subscriptions, feeds and alerts.
Some of the more specialised sources are: Article 19, BeSpacific, Bits of Freedom, Cryptogram, Cryp-
tome, EDRi-gram, EFF, EPIC, FOIANet, FreedomInfo, Infowarrior, Intelforum, Intellfrance, Intelligence
ADI, The Memory Hole, Mother Jones, National Security Archive, NISA, OSINT, Privacy International,
Secrecy News, Spy News, Statewatch, Terrorism Monitor and Wobbing Europe.
