We reach millions of people with investigative reporting on the issues that matter most. No one owns us. We’re accountable only to you, our audience. Monika Bauerlein, CEO
The Center for Investigative Reporting is a nonprofit, investigative news organization that reaches 10 million people each month across our magazine, radio show, websites, social media channels, podcast, videos, films, and newsletters.

Truth is under attack, media institutions are bending the knee, and information chaos is poisoning the discourse. But no one can buy, corrupt, or intimidate our journalism. We show up for audiences hungry for authentic, fearless reporting that helps people understand what’s going on and inspires them to make change. Our reporting has shaped presidential campaigns, court cases, and dinner-table conversations. Read our impact report and check out our awards.
We are accountable to our audience, not a corporate parent or billionaire owner. Seventy percent of our funding comes from individuals who support our nonprofit newsroom. Make a donation in support of independent journalism.
