Thomson Reuters boosts investigative journalism effort

“Publishers are telling us investigative news is extremely valuable, but seems to be the first thing cut when resources get tight,” Chris Ahearn, president of media, said on Tuesday. “The new relationship with INN is another step towards addressing the market’s need and providing our clients with stories they won’t find anywhere else.”

A Thomson Reuters press release said INN is the newest component to the comprehensive coverage and delivery platform Reuters is building to meet the diverse needs of publishers and broadcasters around the world. It represents one additional step toward one stop fulfilment of its media client needs worldwide.

INN is a growing consortium of non-profit news organisations in North America that produces non-partisan investigative and public service journalism on a local, regional and national basis. It is composed of more than 50 news organisations that create long-form and ongoing stories that keep communities informed on the issues they most care about.
