Good question. Here are some independent, non-corporate, non-NGO investigative reporting outlets (or very close to that — many are nonprofit journalism orgs). Some are global, others national or regional. (Note: “non-NGO” is tricky, because many investigative newsrooms are legally structured as nonprofits; I interpret your “non-corporate, non-NGO” to mean “independent journalism outlets not owned by a large media conglomerate or embedded in government/charity machinery.”)

Here’s a list, with a short description of each:

  1. ProPublica — One of the leading nonprofit investigative newsrooms in the U.S., focused on exposing abuses of power. (absurditymirror.com)
