Center For Investigative Reporting
The Center for Investigative Reporting is a nonprofit news organization based in Berkeley, California. The Center has conducted investigative journalism since 1977. The organization is well known for producing stories that reveal scandals or corruption in government agencies and corporations. In 2010, CIR launched its California Watch reporting project and in 2012, it merged with The Bay Citizen. Its 2012 budget is approximately $11 million. The current business model emphasizes cooperation with partners and other news outlets rather than competition, although the Center charges outlets that publish or broadcast its content. Robert J. Rosenthal has been the executive director of the Center since 2007. Phil Bronstein is the organization’s executive chair.

Famous quotes containing the words center and/or reporting:
“My center is giving way, my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack.”
—Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
