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?

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