Cam Higby (Cameron Higby) is an American independent reporter and online political commentator. He produces field reporting from protests and political events and identifies Fearless Media as his independent outlet.
Reporting and outlet
Higby publishes videos and livestreams of demonstrations, interviews and political debates. His own site describes independent reporting from campuses, protests and border issues. WNYC reported that he was among new Pentagon press credential holders in late 2025, representing Fearless Media.
2026 Minnesota election case
Higby worked with James O’Keefe on a concealed-camera operation at Minnesota polling stations during the August 11, 2026 primary. Hennepin County prosecutors charged both men on October 28 with identity theft and unlawful voting. The complaints allege the use of other voters’ identities; they do not allege that a ballot was cast. Higby disputes wrongdoing. His court case remains an allegation, not a conviction.
Institutional relationships
His documented links include Fearless Media as its founder, James O’Keefe through joint reporting and the criminal case, and the Pentagon press credentialing process. A press credential does not establish employment by the Department of Defense.
