After joining forces with the Huffington Post Investigative Fund to create one of the largest non-profit investigative newsrooms in the United States, the Center for Public Integrity is set to launch a daily, online investigative newspaper, reported Politico.
Scheduled to go live in about a month, the digital, non-profit newspaper, to be called iWatch or Integrity Watch, will feature 10-20 investigative, watchdog journalism stories a day, the Washington Business Journal (WBJ) explained. The newspaper will be funded in part through sponsorship ads and $50 yearly e-subscriptions that would be tax-deductible, WBJ added.
The newspaper comes as part of an endeavor to "transform itself into a digital leader in investigative news" using a $250,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, according to the Huffington Post.
