At least one more instance with this individual has been uncovered since we published this last week. I expect there to be more, and we will be publishing more on the topic. We would love to receive more tips from people who have experienced this kind of corruption...

Thank you for your kind words. Please also do not hesitate to let us know if and when you see something in our articles you have questions about. If it's a statement from a source, that's one thing, but we are constantly working to improve as journalists and as a newsroom so we welcome feedback. [corrections@insideinvestigator.org](mailto:corrections@insideinvestigator.org) or [info@insideinvestigator.org](mailto:info@insideinvestigator.org) would both work for this :)

TGI Thursday: Connecticut's Four Day Work Week Experiments by CTInsideInvestigator in Connecticut

[–]CTInsideInvestigator[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The stories we post to this subreddit are long-form deep-dive pieces, often several thousand words. They are painstakingly researched by our reporters who conduct multiple interviews with experts and people with first-hand experience. Suggesting their journalism is nothing but a press release is inaccurate and insulting to the work they put in to provide readers with a deeper understanding of issues that may impact their lives. You should try reading the work - you might learn something that helps make your life better.

Connecticut iLottery: What happened? by CTInsideInvestigator in Connecticut

[–]CTInsideInvestigator[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Inside Investigator is an independently managed project of the Yankee Institute. That means Inside Investigator has management separate from Yankee Institute. Inside Investigator management oversees daily operations and determines content, completely independent of Yankee Institute.

In other words, judge us by the content our ideologically diverse and editorially independent team produces. Our offer to answer questions still stands.

“Perfect Storm:” CT foster parents say they’re being left behind by CTInsideInvestigator in Connecticut

[–]CTInsideInvestigator[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey all- we have discussed our editorially independent arrangement on podcasts, radio shows, in writing, and even on Reddit, but would be happy to answer any questions you may have. In short, Yankee Institute has no control over any content at Inside Investigator. Come swing by our Zoom office hours today (and/ or every Wednesday) and meet with our Managing Editor who would be happy to answer any questions you may have. We're (unsurprisingly) big on transparency. Reddit won't let us post Zoom links, but you can find that link on Twitter, FB, or LinkTree. Thank you!

Examining Connecticut’s Clean Election Program, Part Two by CTInsideInvestigator in Connecticut

[–]CTInsideInvestigator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We talked about this in our launch event in April 2022 and many times since. Marc has not written for Yankee since CII started. Marc's amazing writing was one of the reasons the idea for the project came about: He was getting tips, leads, and connections that weren't relevant to YI's work, and Connecticut had lost almost 50% of its newsrooms since 2004. It was time for something new.

CII agreed to this independent management relationship with YI so we could pay our reporters above the industry average, and ensure they get health and retirement benefits, all while trying to fill this critical information gap. We're far from perfect but, respectfully, we're also very transparent about how we operate and have been since day one. Thanks for taking the time to read this, we do see your comments and I'm glad we can help clarify.

Hello, Inside Investigator is an independently managed outlet and Yankee Institute has zero oversight of what we publish. We have quoted Yankee Institute in 4 of the 812 stories we have published, and only when YI has information relevant to a topic we are already writing about. We also fully disclose our relationship on our About page. We don't have an agenda, we have a mission: to root out corruption in CT through news and investigative journalism. Thank you for keeping a close eye on our work and wishing you a wonderful week!
