Newsroom
Reporting, from the public record.
Court reports, investigations and explainers. Every story is checked against the court record, and as a rule we do not name anyone before they are charged.
Predator Hunters launches its newsroom
We are opening our newsroom: independent local reporting, court coverage from the public record, reward appeals for information on serious crimes, and a public conviction database. Here is what we do, and the standards you can hold us to.
How we report, and the lines we won't cross
How a group known for confronting offenders can also be a publisher people trust: we keep the frontline work and the reporting apart, and we never name anyone before a charge.
Why we built a public conviction database
Court records are public but scattered. We think a community has a right to see what the courts have decided, in one place, in plain terms, drawn from the public record.
