Investigative Journalism Foundation

Free access to 23 million+ rows of public interest data for journalists starts today. Yes, free.

Today, we launched the Free Access for Journalists program: free access to the IJF’s 23 million+ rows of public interest data for reporters across Canada.

This program will give thousands of working journalists across Canada unlimited, free access to all of our public interest databases. That means no government red tape, no weeks-long waits, and no cost to access this data.

That’s an investment in Canadian democracy.
