The Center for Public Integrity
Billing its work as "watchdog journalism in the public interest," this organization and its site are the antithesis of sound-bite broadcast news. The thoroughness with which it has carried out its mission since its 1989 founding has garnered it accolades from major journalism groups. Projects that other news organizations cannot--or will not--undertake are investigated with ferocity by staff and a network of journalists. One of the links (Journalist Ethics, on the dropdown menu at About Us) details the mandatory steps staff must follow to ensure ethical and accurate reporting; this will be particularly valuable for journalism students.
