Eliot Higgins is the founder of investigative journalism website Bellingcat which specializes in fact-checking and open-source intelligence gathered from social media.
The site has grown from a 2012 one-man blog written under the pseudonym Brown Moses to an investigative powerhouse best known for its macro coverage of the Syrian civil war and the crash of Flight MH17, which is also the subject of a podcast.
