IDL-Reporteros is an online newspaper based in Lima, Peru, that specializes in investigative journalism against corruption in Peru and to promote transparency with the nation.[1][2] Since its founding, the newspaper has initiated over 500 investigations throughout Peru.[1] The site has also been awarded both nationally and internationally for its coverage of investigations dedicated against corruption.[3]
History
[edit]
The newspaper was founded in October 2009 by veteran reporter Gustavo Gorriti, initially with only two reporters.[1][2] One of the first main investigations occurred in February 2010, with the report involving the purchase of armoured personnel carrier by the Peruvian Armed Forces at a highly inflated price later being spread through national media outlets.[2]
IDL-Reporteros assisted the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with journalistic and research work involved in the 2021 Pandora Papers leak.[4][5]
