The Bureau of Investigative Journalism is a not-for-profit organisation based at City University, London. The Bureau bolsters original journalism by producing high-quality investigations for press and broadcast media with the aim of educating the public and the media on both the realities of today’s world and the value of honest reporting.
The first of its kind in the UK, it was established in April 2010 with a £2 million donation from The David & Elaine Potter Foundation.
Since it launched the Bureau has secured over forty front-page stories and has produced a number of award-winning web, radio and TV reports.
The editor of the Bureau is Iain Overton.
The Bureau works in collaboration with other news groups to get its investigations published and distributed. To date, we have worked with BBC File On Four, BBC Panorama, BBC Newsnight, Channel4 Dispatches, Channel4 News, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times, Le Monde and numerous others.
