Investigative Reporting Project Italy (IRPI) is the only nonprofit investigative journalism centre of Italy. Registered as a non profit organisation in 2012, for more than a decade it has been producing transnational public interest journalistic investigations – initially run by Italian and international media – and since 2020 directly run on IrpiMedia, the online magazine published by IRPI itself.
IRPI is a member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN). This structure facilitates relationships with partners and colleagues from around the world in the production of investigative reporting. IRPI is also part of the Organized Crime Reporting Project (Occrp) network, a nongovernmental organisation that contributes to the production of investigations on corruption and organised crime on a global scale.
IRPI is also part of Reference, the European Independent Media Circle, a self-organised group of European news outlets with a dual mandate: promoting public interest journalism before national and European institutions and promoting the exchange of experience and best practices with the aim of improving the standards of public interest journalism.
Why IrpiMedia
Investigative journalism requires a great deal of time and resources, and many mainstream media outlets cannot afford to carry out this kind of work, especially in terms of time spent on lengthy phases of investigative and verification work. Our goal is to develop and support public interest journalism at a local, national and international level – no matter how long it takes to produce or how much it may cost. IrpiMedia produces and runs investigations, in-depth reporting and analysis by its reporters and freelance contributors.
Why donating to IRPI
As a nonprofit, IrpiMedia’s work is mainly supported by donations from individuals, foundations and grants. It is becoming increasingly complex to publish investigative journalism, lawsuits and reckless damages requests (SLAPPS) are on the rise, and so are the legal costs of defending ourselves. You can decide to support us with a donation. Your donation will allow us to remain a free and independent media, offering high-profile and impactful journalism.
