Program accomplishments

  • JOURNALISM: CPIs journalism work has been significant in the production, promotion, and defense of investigative journalism in Puerto Rico and across the Americas. Our efforts have contributed to holding those in power accountable. As a strategy to achieve our objectives, we join forces with media partners in Puerto Rico, the U.S. mainland, and with journalists in the Caribbean. In 2024 reporting continued in health, economy, education, housing, climate and environmental stories, which addressed issues impacting our communities daily lives. Our publications increased and our reach grew. Our unique website visitors grew 23% this year and newsletter subscriber grew by 14%. We retained a partnership with Telemundo/Rayos X, this allows us to participate in TV every week. We also maintained our gender issues unit as well as our public education unit, and added a permanent health reporting beat.

  • TRAINING INSTITUTE: The institute offers professional education to journalism students and professionals in investigative journalism. The institute membership for this year was 89 members. Also, we trained 20 young people from disadvantaged communities in vieques offering them media literacy and citizen journalism skills.

  • TRANSPARENCY AND LITIGATION: Our Transparency program advances our mission of providing access to information and transparency intended to have more knowledgeable citizens capable of holding the powerful accountable. The Transparency Program team works with the support of the Legal Clinic of the Inter-American University School of Law, including litigation when necessary. We have also hired an in house lawyer to work on research, advise and strategic litigation cases, community outreach, and offering workshops on access to information. Additionally, our team published the first searchable database of public documents regarding the Fiscal Control Board in Puerto Rico, a unique and valuanle data instrument for journalists, researchers, policymakers, academics, transparency organizations and other groups.
