Program areas at Centro de Periodismo Investigativo

JOURNALISM: CPIs journalism work has been significant in the production, promotion, and defense of investigative journalism in Puerto Rico and across the Americas. Our efforts have contributed to holding those in power accountable. As a strategy to achieve our objectives, we join forces with media partners in Puerto Rico, the U.S. mainland, and with journalists in the Caribbean. In 2022 reporting continued in health, economy, education, and environmental stories, which addressed issues impacting our communities daily lifes. During 2022 our publications increased and our reach grew. We formed a partnership with Telemundo/Rayos X, this allows us to participate in TV every week. We published 13 stories related to Fiona hurracane and the impact it had on the Puerto Rico. We also launched in partnership with todaspr.com a investigative gender issues effort. We launched DE CERCA podcast which had over 2,000 downloads.
TRANSPARENCY AND LITIGATION: Our Transparency program advances our mission of providing access to information and transparency intended to have more knowledgeable citizens capable of holding the powerful accountable. The Tranparency team works with the support of the Legal Clinic of the Inter-American University School of Law, including litigation when necessary. In 2021 a lawyer joined our team as an Equal Justice Fellows to do in house legal research, advisory on strategic litigation cases, community outreach, and give workshops on access to information. The coverage regarding the 141 law implementation resulted in agencies and municipalities increasing their compliance with the law. Additionally, our team published some helpful resources such as a guide to request public information to municipalities and agencies. Seven new cases were filed to increase transparency across agencies and municipalities in Puerto Rico.
TRAINING INSTITUTE: The institute offers professional education to journalism students and professionals in investigative journalism. The program also provides mentorship and fellowship. The institute membership grew to 76 members in 2021 and 2022. Also, we trained community young people in media literacy and citizen journalism.
