Welcome to I-News, the Rocky Mountain Investigative News Network.

I-News produces in-depth journalism that no other newsroom in the state can do.

We’re a nonprofit news service, so we collaborate with the most respected news outlets in Colorado to deliver high-impact journalism to millions of Coloradans.

Together, we’re filling the void in serious public-interest journalism, and bringing more in-depth news to the places you already look for your news: Your newspaper, radio, television, computer and digital device.

Our partners include Rocky Mountain PBS, Colorado Public Radio, KUSA, The Denver Post and virtually every daily newspaper, plus ethnic and emerging media.

I-News

I-News is news for thought.

We report on issues of statewide importance and local impact. Our specialty is turning complex information into compelling multimedia stories – so citizens can make better-informed decisions.

Our focus is high-impact, investigative journalism with an emphasis on data analysis, statistical analysis, data visualization and public records research. These are skills most newsrooms currently lack. However, these are skills that are urgently needed to produce public-interest journalism.

Traditional news sources face tighter resources and more deadlines. They don’t always have the time or specialized skills to do it all. I-News is there to help.

I-News also is helping train the next generation of investigative reporters and create the future of news. We work with journalism students at the University of Colorado and train high school journalists at our summer Investigative Journalism Institute.

You can join in, too. Share your insights through our Public Insight Network. Help sustain quality journalism with a donation to I-News. Suggest a story.
