Here's Reveal: A Multi-Platform Center for Investigative Reporting

Here's the brave new world for Investigative Reporting - a newspaper is one thing but when you have a multi-platform that's what works well for Reveal News.
Here's what they do:


We engage and empower the public through investigative journalism and groundbreaking storytelling that sparks action, improves lives and protects our democracy.
Founded in 1977 as the nation’s first nonprofit investigative journalism organization, The Center for Investigative Reporting has developed a reputation for being among the most innovative, credible and relevant media organizations in the country.
Blogger Note: Here in Mesa, Arizona it's hard to engage and empower the public. Lordy knows yours truly has tried!
Time and time again there are just a few sparks for action to open up the generations-old entrenched local government controlled by an expansive network of closely-connected friends-and-family in finance, insurance, real estate, development, underwriting and politics: F.I.R.E.D.U.P. 
Crossing the line is the intersection of religion and finance when a religion incorporates for-profit enterprises >
