The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

Public interest investigations, exposing wrongdoings, holding power to account, and focusing on social justice and accountability are some of the aims of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ). Founded in 2010 by David and Elaine Potter, it wants to make a real difference in journalism at a global, national, and local level.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism works in collaboration with local and international media organisations, broadcasters, and organisations to maximise the impact of its investigations.
"We intend to crusade against the backward drift of human rights, to demand and deliver transparency and the hard pursuit of truth," co-founder Elaine Potter has said about the organisation's mission.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism works on various investigative projects: Smoke Screens is an investigative podcast delving into "the shadowy world of corporate espionage in the tobacco industry", Global Health reveals systemic harms and barriers to health care worldwide, Big Tech investigates how the government gathers and uses our data and the companies it is paying, Environment reveals how industrial food devastates the planet and drives climate change, and The Enablers investigates how UK executives, lawyers, and advisors enable oligarchs, dictators, and criminals worldwide.
Part of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, The Bureau Local is a collaborative investigative network revealing stories that matter to communities across the UK, such as the housing crisis, health inequality, domestic violence, and social inequalities. The People's Newsroom is an initiative aiming to build a sustainable network of community journalism.
Through the Bureau Local's Open Resources, the network aims to make the investigative process accessible to local reporters and the public. Here, the audience can find the behind-of-scenes of its investigations and guides for exploring or delving deeper into Bureau Local and TBIJ stories.
The organisation's revenue streams are donations from foundations and individuals, and grants from various organisations.
