Nonprofit Journalism Organizations Form Investigative News Network
Brant Houston holds the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Chair in Investigative and Enterprise Reporting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Journalists from 25 nonprofit journalism organizations formed the first-ever investigative news network at a three-day gathering at the Pocantico Conference Center this week.
Pledging collaboration on both editorial efforts and business operations, the network created a steering committee to immediately pursue funding for a grant to develop plans for shared operational resources and for collaborations on major investigative projects.
The group also issued a declaration outlining the need for the network in a time of diminishing resources for investigations by the mainstream media.

Awesome! After watching various investigative groups I've often asked myself why there isn't more collaboration. This is an exciting milestone.

Hi. Great news, and part of a growing international trend amongst investigative media. Is the new INN only for US-based media though, or are they open to partnerships with other regional networks of investigative journalists?
