Our award-winning newsroom is comprised of reporters, editors and computer-aided reporting experts who dig deep and deliver national and international investigative journalism of enduring significance.

The Center’s mission is to produce original investigative journalism about significant public issues to make institutional power more transparent and accountable.

The Center focuses its investigations on the following areas: money and politics, government waste/fraud/abuse, the environment, healthcare reform, the financial system, national security and state government transparency.
