INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM FUND

SUPPORTING JOURNALISM THAT HOLDS POWER ACCOUNTABLE AND DRIVES CHANGE

Local investigative journalism exposes injustice, fights corruption and rights wrongs.

Seattle Times investigative journalism has a direct impact on our community, changing lives and public policy and resulting in action at all levels of state government. Donations to the Investigative Journalism Fund make it possible for us to dedicate resources specifically to critically important local topics.

Patrick Malone

“Investigative journalism is a pillar of democracy. It exposes hidden truths about powerful people and institutions that control other people’s fortunes, which too often evade accountability elsewhere.”

PATRICK MALONE Investigative reporter
Mike Reicher

“Holding the powerful to account is the most important role journalism can play. As investigative reporters we hope to reveal the secrets leaders conceal — those that impact our lives in ways previously unknown.”

MIKE REICHER Investigative reporter

“Investigative journalism holds the region’s most powerful accountable for their actions and gives residents the information they need to constantly improve conditions for our most vulnerable. It is key to strengthening our community.”

LULU RAMADAN Investigative reporter
Lulu Ramadan

“Investigative journalism allows us to untangle needless suffering, show the root of harm — where systems fail, corporate fallibility festers, when government is no longer acting in the public good — and hold us accountable to one another as a society.”

REBECCA MOSS Investigative reporter
Rebecca Moss

Changing lives and public policy

The Seattle Times digs deep to hold those in power accountable and make a difference for the people of our region.

IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY

Our investigations have spurred new laws, protected vulnerable students, helped prioritize a backlog of sexual assault cases, contributed to police reform, made airplanes safer and saved local lives from dangerous painkillers.

ACTING AS A WATCHDOG

We protect the public’s right to know, revealing how people committed for sexual violence are released into the community with little to no oversight and how a Monroe school was riddled with toxic chemicals that made students and teachers sick.

PROTECTING NW RESOURCES

We hold the government accountable, investigating billions spent on ineffective salmon culverts and analyzing one of Washington’s biggest corporate tax breaks, which is working against the state’s clean energy goals and might not be delivering on a promise of new jobs in rural areas.

The Seattle Times difference

The Seattle Times is proud to be one of the few remaining local independent news organizations and the most-visited digital news source in Washington state. A trusted local institution since 1896, The Seattle Times remains deeply rooted in public service and committed to serving our region with principled, quality journalism. Rigorously reported, in-depth investigations have helped earn The Seattle Times 11 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization in the Northwest.
