From the Kickstarter BLog is How I Became a One Man Intelligence Agency by Eliot Higgins
Eliot Higgins didn't start out thinking he'd become a one man intelligence agency, but once he started using his blog to track international activity through public social networks, that's exactly what happened. Now he's running a Kickstarter for Bellingcat, a platform for open source citizen journalism
bellingcat.com will unite citizen investigative journalists to use open source information to report on issues that are being ignored.
so what's keeping you from being a citizen reporter too?

Willful ignorance as a way of living is tantamount to doing the misdeeds yourself.

I would argue that it is worse than doing misdeeds yourself. As Plato said, "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."

If you persist in a profession just to do shit, maybe that's a good thing.
