The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (typically abbreviated to TBIJ or 'the Bureau') is a nonprofit news organisation based in London. It was founded in 2010 to pursue investigations it deems to be in the public interest, funded through philanthropy.〔("Journalism bureau opens for business with seven investigations on the go" ), The Guardian, 27 April 2010. Accessed 26 September 2015.〕 Though the Bureau publishes on its own website, it typically acts more like a news agency, working in collaboration with partner organisations to distribute stories.〔("About the Bureau" ), The Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Accessed 20 April 2015.〕 Since its founding it has collaborated with ''Newsnight'', ''Panorama'' and ''File on 4'' at the BBC, Channel 4 ''News'' and ''Dispatches'', as well as the ''Financial Times'', ''The Daily Telegraph'', and ''The Sunday Times'', among others.〔("Profile: Bureau of Investigative Journalism" ), BBC News, 12th November 2012. Accessed 20th April 2015.〕 Its managing editor is Rachel Oldroyd.〔("Trustees appoint new Managing Editor" ), The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, 23rd October 2014. Accessed 20th April 2015.〕 ==History== The Bureau was established in 2010 by former Sunday Times reporter Elaine Potter, who worked on exposing the Thalidomide scandal, and her husband David Potter, who founded software company Psion. Elaine cites one of her inspirations being the creation two years previous of ProPublica, a nonprofit organisation based in New York with a similar remit, also funded philanthropically.〔("Investigative Bureau Tries to Make Up for British News Cutbacks" ), The New York Times, 4 April 2010. Accessed 26 September 2015.〕 Initial funding for the project came from the Potters' charitable foundation, who committed £2 million.〔("UK investigative journalism bureau wins £2m grant" ), Press Gazette, 17 July 2010. Accessed 12 October 2015.〕 Additional support came in the forms of subsidised office space from City University〔("'I want to see the decomposing corpse,' says bureau chief" ), The Independent, 23 October 2011. Accessed 16 October 2015〕 as well as software tools and training from Google.〔 In the run-up to launch Stephen Grey was acting editor〔("£2m boost for independent investigative journalism bureau" ), The Guardian, 17 July 2010. Accessed 18 September 2009.〕 until the appointment of Iain Overton as its first permanent managing editor.〔("Investigative bureau appoints Overton" ), The Guardian, 21 September 2009.

Overton had seconded Bureau reporter Angus Stickler to the BBC to work on the story, and promoted the broadcast on Twitter. Stickler also later resigned.〔("BIJ journalist Angus Stickler resigns after McAlpine report" ), The Times, 11 December 2012. Accessed 16 October 2015.〕 Former Sunday Times insight editor Christopher Hird was named as the new managing editor in December 2012.〔("Former Insight chief Christopher Hird made editor of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism" ), Press Gazette, 6 December 2012.
