Summary of Eliot Higgins's We Are Bellingcat

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Arab Spring raised the most serious news question of the digital age: verification. How can you know if something is true. How can you know what you’re looking at.

#2 I had considered becoming a journalist, but I had not thrived at college and dropped out, taking a series of office jobs that left me unsatisfied. I began watching politicians and celebrities as if they were another breed. I found no place in the larger world.

#3 In August 2011, I was fascinated by the Arab Spring, and I spent hours every day reading about it and collecting information on Libya, Syria, and Yemen. I had no personal connection to the events, and I was just fascinated.

#4 The online ethos of posting anything of interest and making sense of it together led to fierce disputes online, with supporters of one side or another railing against findings that challenged their preferred narrative.
