The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that holds power to account. Founded in 2010 by David and Elaine Potter, it tackles big subjects through deep reporting that uncovers the truth. It tells the stories that matter. Its aim is to inform the public about the realities of power in today's world. It is particularly concerned with the undermining of democratic processes and failures to accord with fair, legal and transparent practices. It informs the public through in-depth investigative journalism, with no corporate or political agenda. Through fact-based, unbiased reporting, we expose systemic wrongs, counter misinformation and spark change.
