The Combating Terrorism Center has published an update to its 2016 research on the Islamic State’s production of official visual propaganda. “Down, but Not Out: An Updated Examination of the Islamic State’s Visual Propaganda” by CTC Director of Research Dr. Daniel Milton relies on a dataset of over 13,000 propaganda releases and seeks to highlight the setbacks the group has faced as its production of propaganda has continued to rise and fall.
