Summary
• It’s Podmasters’ 10th birthday! Get an extra 10% off a year’s Patreon backing. The news is no longer what people in power want to hide – it’s what algorithms say will keep you clicking. And it’s become a breeding ground for misinformation. As powerful, politically-connected people tighten their grip on what we read and hear, how do you know what to trust? Eliot Higgins of the investigative journalist group Bellingcat tells Rafael Behr how the news environment is evolving, and why open-source intelligence – freely-available information that’s hiding in plain sight – can break us out of the world of managed news. • Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Rafael Behr.
