Helping local news thrive
Investigative Editing Corps links experienced investigative editors with local news organizations that want to do investigative reporting. It was founded in 2017 by Rose Ciotta, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative editor who co-edited “Assault on Learning,” an investigation into violence in the Philadelphia schools that won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Since then, the project, with funding support from the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, has made it possible for investigative editors to work with six news organizations from North Carolina to California. Editors will also be working with two Report For America journalists. The Report for America pilot project with Investigative Editing Corps aims to have experienced editors mentor emerging journalists in investigative reporting.
