We’ve Launched!

We have been posting some initial stories here on the InvestigateNY storefront, while we continue to produce great journalism for broadcast, the web and print.

Why?

Many newsrooms across New York  are a fraction the size they were just a few years ago. Investigative units largely do not exist anymore. Often, there are only enough reporters left to meet the daily demands of a  newscast, or  web updates.

That can leave literally no one to dig deeper into matters of public interest. Newsrooms have to choose which stories to ignore or barely brush past, while knowing there are even more stories that remain undiscovered.  InvestigateNY was created to help fill this void.

INY does not intend to take audience away from existing media. Instead, it leverages those audiences and the special skills of our award-winning team to deliver more investigative reporting to more citizens than ever before. And we can do this at the fraction of the cost of a single reporter.

The reports will be distributed to a City-wide/State-wide audience through the print, broadcast, online and mobile platforms of partners joining us from TV, radio, newspapers, and ethnic media.

With the partnerships we are developing, important investigative reporting can be distributed across the region. If you are interested in helping us to produce great, public service journalism, please contact us at info@investigateny.org
