The Gumshoe Group supports freelance investigative reporters pursuing ambitious journalism in the public interest.
Freelance investigative reporters produce brave, time-intensive work that news organizations often cannot undertake—at significant personal risk and with diminished structural and financial support. The Gumshoe Group supports freelance investigative reporters by connecting them with lawyers in the pursuit of public records, offering workshops and trainings, providing resources and tools, and coordinating investigative collaborations.
