We Are Bellingcat: Global Crime, Online Sleuths, and the Bold Future of News
Description
A riveting account of how ordinary people, armed with little more than internet access, persistence, and open-source data, are transforming the investigation of war crimes, political violence, and global crime. The book traces the rise of a pioneering online collective and its groundbreaking work uncovering truth from videos, satellite images, social media posts, and other publicly available evidence. Along the way, it explores the power—and perils—of digital investigation, from misinformation and state secrecy to the challenge of establishing accountability in a fractured media landscape. Both a compelling behind-the-scenes story and a forward-looking examination of journalism, it reveals how collaborative citizen sleuthing is reshaping the future of news.
