Eliot Higgins is the founder of Bellingcat, the team of open-source investigators behind a series of extraordinary scoops. Their investigations into Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 and the Salisbury poisoning case have made headlines around the world.
In this extended edition of The Media Show, Eliot Higgins tells Amol Rajan how his online hobby of analysing social media videos from the Syrian conflict led to the creation of Bellingcat and a new career in open-source journalism.
