Company Profile

Company Description:

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists tells stories that punch through the noise, showing how the world really works, triggering positive change.

We are driven by the belief that citizens have the right to be better informed, that access to independently-sourced facts is not only essential for democracy but is also a fundamental human right.

Our model represents a new departure for journalism, persuading the biggest and the smallest media organizations in the world to work together to do the watchdog journalism they used to do alone.

We have 280 journalist members and have collaborated with more than 140 newspapers, television and radio stations, and online media outlets, including The Washington Post, Le Monde, the BBC, El Pais, The Guardian, the Asahi Shimbun, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., the Australian Broadcasting Corp., along with small, regional nonprofit journalism organizations in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

ICIJ has directed the largest cross-border reporting initiatives in history, including the Panama Papers, Pandora Papers and more, to uncover corruption, abuses of power and grave harms inflicted on the world’s most vulnerable people.
