The Mediterranean Institute for Investigative Reporting (MIIR) is a non-profit organisation based in Greece. Founded in January 2019, its mission is to promote investigative journalism that holds the powerful to account and defends the public interest.

In an era of crisis and widespread distrust of the media, MIIR’s team is committed to fostering an investigative reporting ecosystem in Greece and the Mediterranean.

At the core of MIIR’s philosophy are the principles and ethics of independent, truth-seeking journalism. Transparency, cooperation, interaction, and the constant education of both journalists and the public are fundamental to our organisation. MIIR’s investigations are provided free of charge. We do not accept any advertisements and regularly publish our funding sources.
