The Center for Investigative Reporting, now located in Emeryville, has brilliantly served not just the Bay Area but the nation with its award-winning journalism. What I find most outstanding about CIR's work is its use of all available channels to disseminate the results of its investigations -- not just print, radio, TV, the web, and social media, but such others means as poetry and drama. The Center's leadership -- executive chairman Phil Bronstein and executive director Robert Rosenthal -- are an extraordinary team, and they've recruited an impressive staff of journalistic stars.

Mission: The center for investigative reporting engages and empowers the public through investigative journalism and groundbreaking storytelling in order to spark action, improve lives and protect our democracy.
Programs: Founded in 1977, the center for investigative reporting (cir) engages and empowers the public through investigative journalism and groundbreaking storytelling in order to spark action, improve lives and protect our democracy. The stories we tell hold the powerful accountable and uncover information that would otherwise remain hidden from the public revealing injustices, exposing threats to public safety, protecting vulnerable communities, championing human rights, speaking out against environmental degradation, and shining a light on government fraud and waste of taxpayer funds. All of cirs reporting exposes the intersection of power, money and politics, and/or the impact of failures of accountability for vulnerable populations and underserved communities. Our newsroom publishes reports on every available platform online text, print,
video, radio, podcast, television, interactive data, graphic animations, social media, live theater and even spoken word poetry. In so doing, we often create a rolling thunder that engages the public and makes it impossible for lawmakers, government officials and others to ignore concerns and questions we raise. The result is that cir sparks real world change audits, civil and criminal investigations, new laws, op eds that move the needle of public opinion, community organizing, changes in the public discourse and more.
