In a world overflowing with information, facts often fuel division rather than informed discussions, as individuals promote their own narratives. Technology, much like the runaway broom in Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, often exacerbates the chaos instead of resolving it. But what if open-source information and intelligent technology could simplify complexities and illuminate the truth? Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, is striving to make this a reality. In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, Higgins shares how Bellingcat leverages online open-source investigations to separate fact from fiction and bring clarity to an increasingly tangled digital landscape. This podcast episode was originally published on May 23, 2024, and has been re-released.

This week, A'ndre chatted with Eliot Higgins, an award-winning journalist who founded the citizen journalism outlet Bellingcat, a fact-checking platform utilizing open-source intelligence focusing on international affairs. Eliot talks about his initial work studying the Syrian Civil War and the conflict in Libya, and how he was able to identify key war crimes from analyzing open-source and publicly available data. He describes the thought process that led him to found Bellingcat and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the platform's initial investigation into the shoot-down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 by Russian-backed militias. A'ndre and Eliot discuss how Bellingcat and citizen journalism at large have operated in the context of the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine, in addition to talking about the challenges of disinformation in its work. Eliot gives his take on AI-generated images and videos and if he's worried about the proliferation of such content, and whether governments have pursued him as a result of his investigative work.

My guest today is Eliot Higgins, a British citizen journalist and founder of Bellingcat, a website that specialises in open-source intelligence. In 2012, while unemployed, he became involved in online discussions about the conflict in Syria, where few journalists were able to operate. Despite having little prior interest in the region, he began to study videos of the conflict, and started a blog on which he analysed geodata and weaponry. This work exposed atrocities and helped establish an evidence base for crimes allegedly committed by the Syrian government. In 2013 Stuart Hughes, a BBC News producer told the New Yorker: “he's probably broken more stories than most journalists do in a career.” In the decade since, however, Bellingcat has broken dozens more, investigating the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, and exposing the true identities of the Russian spies who the British government claims poisoned Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury in 2018. Throughout all of this, my guest has remained a keen player of video games –– despite quitting World of Warcraft for fear his marriage might not survive his addiction. And he says that being part of these online communities has been instrumental in honing his talents.  Be attitude for gains. https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console. Hosted on Acast.

In today's world, facts are everywhere, but instead of fostering informed discussions, many people push their own "facts." Technology, like the broom in Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, has run amok. Wouldn't it be better if open-source information and smart tech clarified issues instead of complicating them? Fortunately, people like Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, are working to achieve this. Listen to this episode of New Thinking for a New World as Higgins discusses how Bellingcat separates fact from fiction through online open-source investigation.

On our first episode back, Nate is joined by the founder of Bellingcat Eliot Higgins. Bellingcat is an investigative journalism website that specializes in fact-checking and open-source intelligence. Elliott himself began blogging about the Syrian civil war over 10 years ago. His work individually and as part of Bellingcat has ultimately created an incredible citizen-led community of journalists and fact-checkers. If nothing else, Elliott is intent on restoring our collective concern for the truth. And it's hard to think of something more important than that, especially as we all now increasingly live our lives in a world of such fast-moving information.

A decade ago, Eliot Higgins founded an organisation that would transform investigative journalism. During the past ten years, Bellingcat has used (mostly) open-source methods to unmask the Salisbury assassins and Navalny's poisoners, and give Putin a bloody nose. But who is the unassuming man behind that tenacious outfit? And will his skilled, open-source sleuths be able to keep up with the ever-growing mass of mis- and disinformation?

Veckans podd är från prisutdelningen av Win Win Gothenburg Sustainability Award 2023 i Göteborg som presenterades i samarbete med Fri Tanke och Göteborgs Stadsteater. Priset är en internationell utmärkelse som delas ut till en person eller organisation som gjort betydelsefulla insatser för en mer hållbar värld. I år var temat bekämpning av desinformation. Årets pris gick till Bellingcat som grundades av Eliot Higgins. Bellingcat består av ett nätverk grävande journalister och är en underrättelseverksamhet som tar hjälp av öppna källor, på engelska open source intelligence (OSINT), för att granska information. Nätverket har avslöjat flera uppmärksammade fall av organiserad brottslighet och kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter. Dessutom delades dotterpriset Win Win Youth Award ut till sociala medie-profilen Abbie Richards som genom sina kanaler ökat förståelsen för desinformation och konspirationsteorier hos sina miljontals följare.Podden avslutas med ett panelsamtal med pristagarna, Göteborgs-Postens chefredaktör Christofer Ahlqvist och Åsa Wikforss, professor i teoretisk filosofi vid Stockholms universitet.Hur undviker en underättelseverksamhet som bekämpar desinformation att själva infiltreras av desinformation? Vad är en konspiration och hur hjälper man något som fastnat i konspirationsträsket? Hur ska vi hantera desinformation i framtiden med ett ökat användande av AI-genererat innehåll och vilket ansvar har sociala medie-plattformar? Hosted on Acast.

On the podcast: In his cover piece for the mag this week, political scientist, Yascha Mounk has written about why identity politics has polarised our understanding of race. And why the left has come to divide groups into oversimplified categories of ‘the oppressors' and ‘the oppressed'. Also this week: Can we trust photographs to paint a true picture of a story? The Israel-Palestine conflict has been one of the most documented wars to date. But with AI manipulation and staged imagery, is there a way of differentiating between real and fake news? Bryan Appleyard CBE and Eliot Higgins from Bellingcat discuss. And finally: There has been a new rise in Paganism over the past few decades and now students can apply for a degree in Magic and Occult Science – but how scientific really is it? Spectator writer Andrew Watts joins the podcast alongside Oxford PhD student Lois Heslop.

On Sunday, the people of Poland cast their votes in an election that some have called a battle for the country's soul. When we released this episode, we were still watching for the various parties to confirm the parliamentary coalitions that would lead to the final result. But experts tell us no matter who wins, one thing is likely to stay the same: Poland's hardline approach to refugees from its eastern border with Belarus. So today, we head to that border, where scientists are studying the impact of rising militarization and anti-refugee activity on the region. It's not always easy — because the Polish border guard isn't always keen to hand out the answers these scientists would love to add to their analysis. But Eliot Higgins, the founder of investigative website Bellingcat, says civilians have an edge these days when states won't answer our questions. We have an unprecedented amount of information at our fingertips — and we're using it to challenge our governments around the world in all kinds of ways. A NOTE: We're heartbroken by the sudden Hamas attack on Israelis and by the Israeli airstrikes and devastation in Gaza.

As humans share more of their experiences online for the world to see, the blank zones are shrinking. In episode seven of the Guns for Hire podcast, host Alia Brahimi is joined by Eliot Higgins, an award-winning journalist and founder of the independent investigative collective, Bellingcat. Eliot, who was personally sued by the late mercenary leader Yevgeny Prighozin for outing him as the oligarch behind the Wagner Group, discusses the types of online open-source tools used to track mercenary activity, and how anyone with a bit of time and an internet connection can get involved.“A mercenary might have a friend who uses social media a lot and they're featuring a lot in these photographs, for example, and then you can start building out the networks from that.” The Guns for Hire podcast is written, produced and hosted by Dr Alia Brahimi.

Reporting a story requires detail. But how much is enough? Or too much? Revisiting some of the most difficult stories he and other journalists have had to report, BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen looks at some of the obstacles that stand between journalists and what Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein once called the ‘best obtainable version of the truth'. Jeremy speaks with: Andrew Norfolk - chief investigative reporter for The Times, Aisha K.

When BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen questioned President Bashar al-Assad about the well-documented Syrian practice of dropping barrels full of explosives on areas held by rebels, he was confronted by a repeated lie.The question for journalists is how they deal with that. And what happens when the lie machine is turned on the journalists themselves.Revisiting some of the most difficult stories he and other journalists have had to report, BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen looks at some of the obstacles that stand between journalists and what Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein called the ‘best obtainable version of the truth'.Jeremy speaks with: journalist Rana Rahimpour who was born in Iran but left when she was 25 to work for the BBC, Dean Baquet - until 2022 the executive editor of the New York Times, and Eliot Higgins - founder of Bellingcat.Presenter: Jeremy Bowen Producer: Georgia Catt Assistant Producer: Sam Peach Additional research: Rob Byrne Series mixing: Jackie Margerum Series Editor: Philip Sellars

In this episode, Mr Eliot Higgins discusses the weapons used in the conflict in Syria and open-source investigation tools and techniques. This podcast series is presented by Dr Alessandro Arduino, Principal Research Fellow and Dr Ameem Lutfi, Research Fellow, at the Middle East Institute, National University of Singapore.

Eliot Higgins is founder of online investigative collective Bellingcat which, over the last 10 years, has used open source investigation techniques to prove that Syria's regime used chemical weapons against its citizens, find evidence of Russian involvement in the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17, and unmask the “kill teams” who poisoned Russian defector Sergei Skripal and opposition leader Alexei Navalny. In this episode, Eliot describes how he taught himself open source methods, outlines what makes Bellingcat different to conventional investigative teams and offers advice to early-career journalists. He also explains why Chinese-speaking open source investigators are highly prized... and why he doesn't order room service or leave his underpants unattended.

Their achievements include the discovery of truth behind the downing of MH17 over Donbas and PS752 airplane over Tehran, identifying the agents responsible for poisoning Sergei Skripal and Alexei Navalny, the use of chemical weapons in Syrian Civil War and the use of american weapons to target civilians in the war in Yemen, as well as many others. Bellingcat is possibly the most known team of investigative journalists in the world. Their operational model focuses almost entirely on an innovative method of gathering intel and data that seemed very unlikely only 10 years ago. Bellingcat uses open source material, image analysis, geolocalization and social media to solve the riddles deemed too hard for some of the best detectives in the world. Eliot Higgins tells us about what he thinks on the development of internet privacy and censorship from Bellingcat's perspective, why it was so easy to track and identify Russian spies on social media and if he thinks that the effects of Bellingcat's work will help in executing justice. He also gives us a sneak peak into their new venture, Bellingcat Productions. Wstęp i wprowadzenie: Bartek Pawłowski

Eliot Higgins to założyciel Bellingcat, grupy dziennikarzy śledczych, którzy opierają swoją pracę na ogólnodostępnych źródłach. Do ich osiągnięć zaliczają się odkrycia odpowiedzialnych za zestrzelenie MH17 nad Ukrainą oraz Ukraińskiego PS752 pod Teheranem, sprawców otrucia Sergieja Skripala i Alexeia Navalnego, winnych użycia broni chemicznej w Syrii oraz używania amerykańskiej broni do atakowania cywilów w Jemenie i wielu innych. Bellingcat to prawdopodobnie najsłynniejsza grupa dziennikarzy śledczych na świecie. Ich model operacyjny skupia się niemal w 100 proc. na nowatorskim modelu zbierania danych i informacji, który nie był możliwy jeszcze 10 lat temu. Używając ogólnodostępnych źródeł, analizy obrazu, geolokalizacji i mediów społecznościowych, Bellingcat rozwiązuje zagadki, którym często nie mogą sprostać najlepsi śledczy na świecie. Eliot Higgins opowiada nam o tym, jak widzi rozwój internetowej prywatności i cenzury w kontekście ich pracy, dlaczego tak naprawdę łatwo znaleźć rosyjskich szpiegów w mediach społecznościowych i czy myśli, że efekty ich śledztw pozwolą na egzekwowanie sprawiedliwości wobec winnych. Zdradza też kilka nowinek na temat Bellingcat Productions. Specjalne podziękowania dla lektora Krzysztofa Tubilewicza, dzięki któremu możecie wysłuchać Eliota Higginsa w polskim tłumaczeniu!

It turns out you can use a prank call to expose suspected poisoners, mole patterns to identify a violent demonstrator at a white nationalist rally and online videos to reveal a weapons-smuggling operation to Syrian rebels.At least, Eliot Higgins and the online sleuths at the open source investigative operation Bellingcat can. Since Higgins founded the organization in 2014, his team has helped break major stories, from unearthing evidence that ties Russia to the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 to revealing the identities of Russian agents suspected of poisoning the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny.In this conversation, Kara Swisher asks Higgins about the perils of taking on Vladimir Putin and how Bellingcat's work, which Kara calls “gumshoe journalism,” differs from online vigilantism. She presses Higgins on the ethics of paying for data, partnering with political figures like Navalny and building a company that benefits from the shaky relationship Big Tech has with user privacy.You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Eurozine editor Simon Garnett talks to Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins about Bellingcat's pathbreaking investigations into the shooting down of MH17 and the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons. We're particularly interested in hearing about Higgins's experience with pro-Russian and pro-Syrian disinformation, and how Bellingcat navigates this hyper-partisan online terrain. The interview was published in Eurozine on 4 June 2020: https://www.eurozine.com/we-arent-just-telling-you-what-we-think-were-showing-you-what-we-know/ Gagarin, the Eurozine podcast is a series of conversations with authors and editors from throughout Europe and beyond.

This is a conversation with Eliot Higgins, founder and executive director of Bellingcat, an online open-source investigation collective. Bellingcat rose to prominence over its team's investigation of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on July of 2014 by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, which killed all 298 passengers on board. The evidence, which linked that group to the Russian army's 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, was later confirmed by the joint investigation team (JIT) which includes the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine, Australia, and Malaysia. So I spoke to Eliot about that case and about some of the many investigations that Bellingcat has done in the past six years. Among the cases mentioned are: the Latamneh and Ghouta chemical attacks by the Assad regime in Syria in 2017 and 2013 respectively; ISIS' oil refineries and the environmental and humanitarian catastrophes they've caused; the US bombing of Al-Jineh Mosque in Aleppo in 2017; the Skripal Affair in the UK; the Saudi bombings in Yemen; and Europol's #StopChildAbuse campaigns. One thing I wanted to focus on is how Bellingcat's investigative techniques can be used in both human rights and journalism worlds. So while this episode features a lot of concrete examples, we also spoke about how anyone listening to this podcast can take part in these investigations following well-established and always-developing tools and techniques.
