This episode, we dive into the skills and techniques used in open-source reporting (yes it’s more than just stalking people on social media!).

Beatriz and Tessa are joined by two of our open-source reporters Jack Sapoch and Monica Camacho. We talk about their roles in the context of a recent investigation that reconstructed the unseen events which saw 40 people suffocate to death in a migrant detention centre fire in Ciudad Juárez.

We’re also joined by our investigations editor Melissa Del Bosque to explain the strategy behind the investigation and how it was received.
