The Mediterranean Institute for Investigative Reporting (MIIR) is a non profit organisation that was founded in January 2019 with the aim to enhance the genre of journalism that holds those on power accountable and defends public good.

Amidst an environment of crisis and a largely discredited journalistic profession, MIIR’s team aspires to foster the creation of an investigation ecosystem in Greece and the Mediterranean.

At the core of MIIR’s philosophy lie the principles and ethics of independent, speaking-truth-to-power journalism. Transparency, co-operation, interaction and an approach of constant education both of journalists and the public, are fundamental elements of our organization. MIIR’s investigations are provided free of charge. We do not accept any kind of advertisements whatsoever and we publish our funding sources on a regular basis.
