About

I'm an award-winning journalist and author and one of the world's leading experts on online disinformation, digital investigations, and media manipulation. I'm the co-founder of Indicator, a newsletter and website dedicated to exposing digital deception and to equipping professionals with knowledge and skills to help them investigate it. I also teach and provide OSINT and digital investigative training to a wide range of newsrooms and institutions. I was previously a national reporter for ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative newsroom, and the media editor of BuzzFeed News, among other roles. I've also worked with the Global Investigative Journalism Network, International Center For Journalists, and European Journalism Center, among other organizations. I love collaborating with journalists, newsrooms, and news literacy organizations around the world. Over the years, I've helped launch an online news organization (OpenFile), created an award-winning blog and media brand (Regret the Error), developed an innovative research project and product prototype (Emergent), authored two non-fiction books, and been a columnist, contributor and editor for websites, newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and Canada.
