We believe that coordinated investigations allow the press to have maximum impact, reaching the broadest possible audience with their critical findings.

The Signals Network supports journalists and media organizations committed to collaborative investigations that reveal major wrongdoing and potential threats to democracy, freedom and justice. Our work has been instrumental in the publication of major investigations through media in the U.S. and across Europe (including Die Zeit in Germany, El Mundo in Spain, Miami Herald in the US, Information in Denmark, and Mediapart in France), reaching hundreds of millions of readers in six languages.

Facilitate interested journalists on collaborative investigations, providing project management and communications support, as agreed to by participating media partners

Support to your sources, including access to a network of lawyers to whom you can refer putative whistleblowers who are in need of legal counsel

Provide information and resources to help you navigate legal, media, and security challenges

We work together with journalists and media organizations on specific topics of interest to ensure they are reaching the largest possible audience with their investigative findings.

Stories run by each media partner are likely to be different with agreed-upon pieces that are then contextualized for local audiences.

Recent examples include global investigations on security failures at a French nuclear power plant, questionable plasma collection devices, and tax evasion practices in Luxembourg. These collaborations resulted in a combined audience of over 165 million readers in six languages. Our media partners shared information received through their respective sources, investigated collaboratively, and agreed on the nature and format of their individual publications.
