And they cover those stories locally, nationally and internationally.

CIR's newest venture, the award winning California Watch, is the largest investigative team in the state. Their staff includes highly-skilled reporters who know how to cultivate sources and find hidden information; engineers and analysts who create sophisticated news apps, interactive maps and tools to help the public understand issues from the macro to the micro level; and radio, video and multimedia producers who create engaging documentaries, videos and animated features to demystify complex topics. CIR's distribution and engagement team then works to deliver this information across hundreds of outlets and to engage their readers, listeners, viewers, and those most impacted by their reporting in the search for solutions.
