The Stursberg lecture is held annually in honour of Canadian war correspondent Peter Stursberg. He was the first CBC journalist to cover Canadian troops in action using radio broadcasts during the Second World War. In 2014, he died at the age of 101 as the last living correspondent from the Second World War. At the lecture, Fiorella spoke the success of the organization’s methodology in verifying images online, which helped him last year while uncovering a massacre in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. Fiorella said that one of the reasons behind Bellingcat’s international recognition is its production of digital, open-source information and its commitment to transparency in its published investigations.
