Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting Information

The Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting is the state’s only independent, nonpartisan and collaborative nonprofit newsroom dedicated to statewide, data-driven investigative reporting. AZCIR holds powerful people and institutions accountable by exposing injustice and systemic inequities through investigative journalism. AZCIR covers state and local government, education, public health, the environment, and public policy issues that impact the lives of Arizona residents. AZCIR publishes content online at AZCIR.org, and through a distribution network of newsrooms in print and on television and radio. AZCIR releases its content under a creative commons license, meaning it’s free for other newsrooms to use with appropriate credit. AZCIR is funded by individual donors, foundations, fee-for-service revenue from collaborative data work with partner newsrooms, through training and corporate underwriting of events. As a matter of policy, funders exercise no control over AZCIR editorial decisions, and all funders are publicly identified.
