Overview
Founded in 1977, the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) was the first nonprofit organization in the nation devoted to independent, high-quality investigative journalism. In 2012, CIR merged with The Bay Citizen, greatly enhancing its coverage of local and regional issues. Today, CIR is the largest nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative reporting organization in the country. It is also the only nonprofit journalism organization nationwide with the in-house ability to fully produce stories on multiple platforms: print/text, video, radio, and social media. This grant would accompany an organizational effectiveness grant to CIR on the November 2013 docket, supporting strategic planning.
