What they do
OUR TEAM of WATCHDOG and INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS DELIVER DEPTH NOT BY GENERATING DAILY HEADLINES BUT BY STRATEGICALLY FOCUSING OUR REPORTING POWER WHERE WE CAN GET MAXIMUM IMPACT. WE WILL DO THIS IN SEVERAL WAYS: ORIGINAL JOURNALISM: WE PRODUCE QUICK-TURN ACCOUNTABILITY and EXPLANATORY STORIES, MID-LEVEL ENTERPRISE PIECES and IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIONS USING OUR OWN, IN-HOUSE RESOURCES and MAKE THEM FREELY AVAILABLE for REPUBLICATION BY PRINT, DIGITAL TELEVISION and RADIO OUTLETS. COLLABORATIVE JOURNALISM: WE PARTNER WITH PRINT, DIGITAL TELEVISION and RADIO NEWSROOMS to PRODUCE QUICK-TURN ACCOUNTABILITY and EXPLANATORY STORIES, MID-LEVEL ENTERPRISE PIECES and IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIONS USING SHARED RESOURCES and CO-PUBLISH THEM. SUPPORTIVE JOURNALISM: WE PROVIDE RESOURCES INCLUDING PUBLIC FOIA ASSISTANCE, DATA WORK, EDITING HELP and TRAINING SESSIONS to BOLSTER THE WORK of LOCAL PRINT, DIGITAL TELEVISION and RADIO NEWSROOMS, WHICH WILL CREDIT US for THAT ASSISTANCE WHEN APPROPRIATE.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
