About
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1997 by Charles Lewis as a project of the Center for Public Integrity, spinning off as fully independent in 2017. It maintains a global network of more than 290 investigative journalists across over 100 countries who collaborate on cross-border projects, including coordinating major investigations like the Panama Papers—for which it received the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting—and the Pandora Papers. The organization has been directed by Gerard Ryle since 2011.
