Project On Government Oversight to Preserve the Center for Public Integrity's Archives

Washington, D.C. — Today, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) announced that it will serve as the new home for the Center for Public Integrity’s (CPI) archives and intellectual property.

For more than 30 years, CPI set the standard for independent, hard-hitting, accountability-driven journalism. As CPI closes its doors, POGO will ensure that its important body of work remains accessible to the public.

“Fearless, independent reporting is how we bolster transparency and hold powerful interests accountable and across government and industry,” said Brandon Brockmyer, director of investigations and research at POGO and head of POGO Investigates. “The Center for Public Integrity was a vital force in investigative journalism for over three decades, and we want to ensure that their extraordinary body of work remains accessible to the public. POGO Investigates is committed to honoring CPI’s remarkable legacy by continuing to produce hard-hitting investigative journalism that exposes corruption and abuse of power.”

Today’s announcement builds on POGO’s more than four decades of independent oversight of the federal government. POGO’s recently launched newsroom, POGO Investigates, produces rigorous, nonpartisan reporting on corruption, abuse of power, and accountability failures.

“As CPI closes its doors, we are thankful that POGO has stepped up to serve as the new home for CPI’s archives,” CPI’s board said. “We are confident that POGO Investigates will continue to produce journalism that holds power to account. By keeping CPI’s work available online, POGO is ensuring that journalists, researchers, policymakers, and the public can continue to access and build upon CPI’s reporting. This is an investment in the future of investigative journalism.”
