The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists is an international network founded in 1997 by the Center For Public Integrity in the US. They are a nonprofit with transparent finances, and focused mainly on reporting of international crime and corruption. They have high standards and exhibit little bias. A sound and reputable source.
