  • Quotes
    [on journalistic online research] If somebody put something up on the Web five years ago and it's long gone, can you find it? I think you probably know: You can. Nothing is gone from the Web. That's the astonishing thing. You have to find the little engine that will get you there. And in this case it's called the Internet Archive or the Way Back Machine. And the Way Back Machine will tell you everything you ask for about something that happened in the past. You've got to be very specific in what you enquire, like the site for Nestlé cocoa October of such and such a date. And it will take you there. If they logged that day, it will be there. They miss some things, but on the whole it's very accurate. We have a website in the group that I run which has nothing but information of this kind. So if you go on the website, which is called www.tcij.org [The Center for Investigative Journalism], and look for resources and books and things like that, we publish all that stuff. It's free.[2013]
