On February 7, the investigative journalism and online reporting teams held a joint plenary on online investigations.
Presenters demonstrated a few tools that are used to locate information and carry out online investigations.
These tools include online databases on various topics, internet archives, and ways to back up controversial or damning information so that it can't be removed from the internet. Some of the tools and databases search the Deep Web, which is the part of the web that is not searchable by search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Other tools are used to organize the often copious amounts of electronic documents that online investigators often have to manage.
The investigative and online teams are making the tools they mentioned during the plenary available online.
This is an interactive blog post. The online and investigative journalism teams will continue to update the post with more tools.
