关于我们
The Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting represents a new take on a familiar mission. We are a news trade organization whose mission is to increase the ranks, retention and profile of reporters and editors of color in the field of investigative reporting. The Society seeks to raise the awareness of, and opportunities for, investigative reporting among journalists of color and to foster the desire for social justice journalism and accountability reporting about racial injustice. Although there are journalism membership organizations that provide training and skills building for investigative reporting and others that serve as advocates for diversity in newsrooms and media organizations, none of these groups adequately serve journalists of color who are interested in opportunities in investigative reporting. Today, even as ongoing racial inequality roils the national landscape, too few of the journalists doing investigative reporting come from the communities suffering the most. The ranks of investigative reporters in the nation’s newsrooms continue to be overwhelmingly white. Our mission is to do something about that. Be twice as good.

Local school districts are generally responsible for building and maintaining public schools in the United States and largely pay for those projects with property taxes. But in Alaska, the state owns just under half of the 128 schools in its rural districts, a KYUK and ProPublica review of deeds and other documents found. These sparsely populated areas rely almost entirely on the state to finance school facilities because they serve unincorporated communities that have no tax base. To get help for repairs, school districts are required to apply for funding each year, and then the state compiles a priority list. Since 1998, at least 135 rural school projects have waited for state funding for five years or more, an analysis of data from Alaska's Department of Education and Early Development shows. Thirty-three of those projects have languished on the state's funding list for more than a decade.

Investigative journalism at work: Nine years later, the groundbreaking Panama Papers investigation continues to inspire governments around the world to chase badly needed revenue lost offshore to tax evasion schemes. In recent years, governments have recouped hundreds of millions of dollars more in back taxes and penalties, records show, as a result of the cross-border journalism collaboration led by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, along with 100 media partners from five continents, published in April 2016. https://buff.ly/PHdjnVr

To piece together what’s happened since then, ProPublica examined court filings and interviewed attorneys and Öztürk’s close friend, who regularly speaks to her in detention. What emerges is a more intimate picture of Öztürk and how a child development researcher charged with no crime ended up in a crowded cell in Louisiana. The interviews and court records also provide a glimpse into a sprawling, opaque apparatus designed to deport the maximum number of people with minimum accountability.

To dismantle VOA and RFE/RL would also silence hundreds of reporters who have spent years or decades serving overlooked parts of the world and who are often the only ones covering topics like human rights, corruption, and war crimes — sometimes at great personal peril. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, since 2003, nine media members who have worked for or contributed to VOA have been imprisoned and nine more were killed during that same period. Two VOA contributors are currently in jail.

Investigative journalists in countries experiencing war and conflict have found themselves torn between covering daily war news, securing their safety and that of their families, and prioritizing their survival. Even those working in neighboring countries often find themselves racing to cover the aftermath of these simultaneous, ongoing conflicts.
