Accountable only to the public.

CARDU is an independent investigative newsroom. We take no position beyond a commitment to the accuracy of the record.

We are reporters, data researchers, and editors working across the region and beyond. We publish investigations that are built on documents, verified against independent evidence, and written to be read by anyone.

We accept no funding that compromises our independence, and we disclose the funding we do accept. Our loyalty is to the reader and to the record — nothing else.
