2-hour workshop with practical exercises

Digital Tools for Investigation

You don’t need to be a journalist to make use of investigative tools. Whether you’re trying to verify a claim you’ve read or heard, looking into a company before trusting them with your money, business or personal data, or just trying to find a specific piece of information you know will be online somewhere, there are many tools, techniques, and online platforms that will help make your research and fact-checking quicker, simpler and more effective.

This session will signpost a huge range of methods to help you search the internet more effectively, access useful data and information, and follow the digital trails of fraudsters and criminals.

N.B. You will require a laptop to take part in this session

We hope to include a short session from Bristol’s own investigative journal ‘The Cable’ as part of Tom’s workshop.
