Hi Revealer,

If you’ve been following our email updates, you’ll have read about our merger with Mother Jones, which became official Feb. 1. (If not, there’s more detail about it here ([link removed]) .) For those of you in the know, one thing you’ve probably noticed since the merger is that everything that originally drew you to The Center for Investigative Reporting has remained the same: We continue to hold the powerful accountable by revealing injustices, exposing threats to public safety, championing human rights, speaking out against environmental degradation, and shining light on fraud and waste of public funds.

It’s that uncompromising commitment to reporting the truth that just last month garnered us a George Polk Award, one of the most prestigious prizes in journalism. The award-winning Reveal episode was one you’ll recall from late last year: We Regret to Inform You ([link removed]) , an explosive story about police officers interrogating family members before telling them that they had killed their loved one.

Our merger doesn’t change who we are or the values we stand for, but it does make us stronger financially. In an era that’s been brutally hard for independent media, sharing resources makes us better equipped to pursue our mission.

One of the key parts of that mission is to get people who are hungry for trustworthy journalism the information they need. Whether someone scrolls through Instagram, turns on the radio in their car, watches TV news or clicks on a website, we need to be there for them. With our new combined audience, the impact of our journalism grows.

Now we can publish an investigation on any platform where people get their news, including a digital story that will reach millions of readers on MotherJones.com ([link removed]) , a Reveal episode ([link removed]) airing on stations covering more than 98% of the country, an article in an award-winning print magazine ([link removed]) , a documentary on Netflix ([link removed]) or multiple newsletters, video platforms ([link removed]) and lively social channels ([link removed]) .
Your support ([link removed]) fuels this incredible opportunity. And it’s you – our listeners, readers and viewers – who our team will be working hard for day after day.

Thank you for believing that trustworthy, fact-based journalism is crucial for our democracy. Thank you for believing in us.
