The Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism is a non-profit online news service dedicated to journalism education and to collaborating with commercial or other non-profit news organizations to produce short-term and long-term explanatory and investigative reporting projects. We teach and insist upon the highest performance and ethical standards of traditional journalism and apply them to the modern-day multi-media and distribution opportunities that new technology has provided. To carry out this mission, the Iowa Center relies totally on individual donations and grants.
