Founded in 2008 by journalist Bilbo Poynter, the Centre seeks to respond to what Poynter sees as the “attrition of the resources and expertise from Canadian newsrooms necessary to produce in-depth investigative reporting on matters of significant public interest.” Its website states it is the only organisation of its type in the country. They aim to collaborate with large-scale media in order to produce investigative reports.
