Leaving no doubt that our point of difference in investigative reporting is our ability to produce and distribute investigative reporting through television and video, InvestigateNY has rebranded as i-team.tv.
“Informing the public in ways that are relevant and compelling is at the heart of accountability journalism,” said Kevin Davis, CEO & Executive Director of the Investigative News Network, a consortium of 60 nonprofit, nonpartisan news outlets.
“The ability to tell these important stories via high-quality video to reach the widest audience possible is a key component, one that I-team.tv can do well.”
“Our staff and contributors are recognized as the best the industry has to offer,” says i-team.tv Executive Director Polly Kreisman.
“It’s important that those not immediately familiar with us know what we offer our client stations, video content providers, and our journalist colleagues looking to leverage their reporting on video platforms.”

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
The grant will support INYs efforts to establish and sustain an investigative reporting center for New York, that will focus on content for broadcast, print and web platforms.
“This generous grant will allow the us to begin producing enterprise and investigative reporting for the broadcast, print and digital media, and, we hope, to tell unique, provocative and highly visual stories with journalistic integrity and our proven skills,” said Executive Director Polly Kreisman
Regional nonprofit centers for investigative reporting are an emerging model in the United States. Over fifty such organizations are now members of the Investigative News Network.
Founded by Edith Kinney Gaylord, Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation’s mission is to invest in the future of journalism by building the ethics, skills and opportunities needed to advance principled, probing news and information.
