Bellingcat: Truth in a Post-Truth World
An inside look at the revolutionary emergence of the "citizen investigative journalist" collective known as Bellingcat, as told by those who were there from the beginning. Assembled from a diverse range of personalities from all over the world, Bellingcat is an online community of bright and motivated truth seekers working to disrupt the traditional news media by applying innovative digital investigative tools to challenge the status quo. Eliot, the de facto leader, and his fellow researchers provide us with exclusive access to their close-knit community while demonstrating the limitless potential of open source inquiry techniques. The group's rising global influence and power is analyzed and studied in examples ranging from the Malaysia Airlines flight 17 accident to the Syrian regime's concealed crimes against humanity.
