I-News, the Rocky Mountain Investigative News Network, is a nonprofit investigative news organization based in Boulder, Colorado.
The network was founded in 2009 by Laura Frank, a former reporter for the defunct Rocky Mountain News. It has five full-time staff members, plus several contributors through the University of Colorado at Boulder. Frank is supported by a fellowship there, and the network has also collaborated with the university on a mobile media project.
Its reports are published on its website and distributed through traditional media outlets, particularly public media. It has a partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS.
The network has been funded largely by the University of Colorado, as well as through the Knight, McCormick, and Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundations. I-News plans to support itself through grants, corporate underwriting, syndication partnerships, and other services, however — particularly now that CU-Boulder has closed its journalism school.
The network was a founding member of the Investigative News Network, a collaboration of nonprofit investigative news organizations.
In January 2009, I-News announced it was merging with Rocky Mountain PBS and Denver radio station KOVU.
