Centar Za Istrazivacko Novinarstvo

Mission & Goals

The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIN) exists to strengthen democratic governance, transparency and accountability in Bosnia and Herzegovina by conducting in-depth, evidence-based investigative journalism of public importance. It is driven by the conviction that an informed citizenry, equipped with independent, rigorous and impartial reporting, is fundamental to a functioning democratic society. By exposing patterns of corruption, organised crime, institutional wrongdoing and misuse of public resources, CIN aims to empower citizens, stimulate public debate, and press for institutional reform. CIN’s work is informed by the belief that transparency is a precondition for accountability; that power must always be subject to public scrutiny; that citizens have the right to accurate, impartial information; and that the media’s role is not simply to reflect society but to investigate, challenge and inform it.
