InvestigateWest co-founds Investigative News Network

Republishing Guidelines

Yes, unless otherwise noted, you’re welcome to republish InvestigateWest’s original articles and photographs for free, as long as you follow a few simple conditions:

  • You must credit both the author and InvestigateWest in the byline. We prefer: “Author Name, InvestigateWest.”
  • You have to include the tagline provided at the end of the article, which typically reads, “InvestigateWest (investigatewest.org) is an independent news nonprofit dedicated to investigative journalism in the Pacific Northwest. Visit investigatewest.org/newsletters to sign up for weekly updates.”
  • You can write your own headlines as long as they accurately reflect the story.
  • You may not edit our work except to reflect your own editorial style or to update time references (changing “yesterday” to “last week,” for instance).
  • You may use InvestigateWest artwork (photos, illustrations, etc.) ONLY if you publish them alongside the stories with which they originally appeared and do not alter them. You may not separate multimedia elements for standalone use.
  • If you share our stories on social media, we’d appreciate it if you tag us in your posts.

Keep in mind: InvestigateWest sometimes republishes articles from other news outlets and we have no authority to grant republication permission. These stories are identifiable by their bylines and other credits.

We send story alerts to editors at news outlets across the Northwest. Let us know if you want to be included on that list. Questions? Contact us at editors@investigatewest.org.

TARRYTOWN, New York — InvestigateWest has become a charter member of the agreement to create the  "Investigative News Network," a national network of nonprofit investigative news outlets.

"This is a great day for journalism, and a great day for the people and places we serve," said InvestigateWest co-founder Daniel Lathrop. "It was a privilege to work with the giants of journalism to help reinvent the business model for investigative reporting."

The INN was created  during a three-day, invitation-only meeting at the Pocantico Conference Center in Tarrytown, NY. The meeting was sponsored by the Center for Public Integrity and the Center for Investigative Reporting . Those in attendance included  InvestigateWest co-founder Daniel Lathrop as well as representatives of National Public Radio, wnet.org, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting and other leading nonprofit news organizations.

The groups issued a joint statement titled, "The Pocantico Declaration: Creating a Nonprofit Investigative News Network," and have formed a board and working groups.
