InquireFirst is a new journalism model created by more than a dozen prominent journalists. Each year we’ll investigate topics of critical national importance, using the ethical and reporting standards that have long guided the best investigative journalists. But three things separate what we’re doing from other news organizations: 1) We’ll aggressively use new and emerging technologies and social media to reach Americans who aren’t normally exposed to investigative stories. 2) We’ll keep people engaged through interactive web platforms where they can exchange ideas, suggest solutions and press their political leaders to take action. 3) We’ll stick with our topics until the problems we expose are addressed, no matter how long that takes.
