The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), an award-winning, investigative nonprofit newsroom that is home to Mother Jones, Reveal, and CIR Studios, engages and empowers the public through investigative journalism and groundbreaking storytelling that sparks action, improves lives and protects our democracy. Our newsroom investigates the big stories that may be ignored or overlooked by other news outlets, including about democracy and voting rights, racial justice, reproductive rights, and food and agriculture.

We are America’s oldest investigative news outlet, and are based in San Francisco with bureaus in Washington, D.C., and New York. We are an independent newsroom (meaning we don’t have any corporate owners), and are accountable only to you, our readers. Our mission is to deliver hard-hitting reporting that raises awareness and inspires change.
