Open sources as tools: Learn from the NYTimes Visual Investigations Team

Haley Willis is a journalist with the Visual Investigations team at The New York Times. The team combines traditional reporting with digital and open source methods to investigate issues of conflict, corruption and human rights - from forced labor in China to Israel’s air war in Gaza. Her recent work on police killings during traffic stops, civilian casualty assessments from U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East, and Russian atrocities in Ukraine shared in three Pulitzer Prizes. Prior to joining The Times, Haley worked as a researcher with the Human Rights Center at Berkeley Law.
