About CIR
The Center for Investigative Reporting is a nonprofit organization that reveals injustice and strengthens democracy through the tools of journalism. Investigative reporting -- requiring long lead times and significant investment of resources -- is in short supply. Under increasing pressure to deliver higher profits for publicly traded media companies, editors and producers cut back on time and people first. The predictable outcome: a shortage of original, in-depth and risk-taking reporting, and a citizenry deprived of the information required to maintain a vibrant democracy.
CIR is part of the solution, injecting tough but fair investigative reporting into the news media by: investing in promising stories at their earliest stages to give them a chance in the news marketplace, producing major multimedia investigative projects, and promoting investigations to maximize their impact. The work is led by a small West Coast staff and powered by a nationwide team of independent reporters and producers.
