Can complex truths be revealed using digital fragments from the
worldwide web? Eliot Higgins is the founder of the investigative
website Bellingcat, which in recent years has broken a series of
scoops. Bellingcat has exposed the depth of Russian military
involvement in the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over
Ukraine; it revealed the identities of two key Russian suspects
in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal; most recently, it
has provided damning detail about the suspected assassin of a
Chechen rebel in Berlin. Has Bellingcat reinvented journalism for
our "fake news" age?
