Investigative Post, Rochester D&C to share stories

Published by

The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, owned by Gannett Co. Inc., and Investigative Post, a nonprofit investigative reporting center based in Buffalo, have entered into a content sharing agreement. The two news organizations will share selected stories of interest to their respective readers. The two news organizations at times will publish accountability journalism created by the other. In the case of the D&C, this would include reporting created in Rochester or by the newspaper’s New York State Team. “We’re always looking for ways to give our readers more enterprise stories, and the D&C’s reporting in upstate New York is a good source for that type of[...]

Investigative Post teaming up with Channel 7

Published by

Investigative Post has had a very good 12-year run with Channel 2. It’s over. Starting this week, you’ll find us on 7 News. Our reporters will periodically discuss their work with Michael Wooten on his Voices newscast at 5:30 p.m. WKBW will also incorporate our reporters into stories they produce for which we have subject matter expertise. I have a deep appreciation for how the previous management at Channel 2 helped put Investigative Post on the map when we launched in 2012. We forged a strong working relationship based on our shared commitment to investigative reporting. All that  changed the[...]

Readers select iPost’s top story of 2023

Published by

Geoff Kelly’s story on the Buffalo fire department clerk paid nearly $600,000 over seven years while on suspension was the runaway winner of Investigative Post’s best story of 2023. Kelly’s investigation garnered nearly 40 percent of the votes cast by readers, the widest margin since we instituted our story of the year balloting in 2013. The story was also the most-read story on our website for 2023. Kelly documented how Jill Repman, known as Jill Parisi at the time of her suspension in 2016, kept collecting her city paycheck while working another job in the private sector.  Between 2016 and[...]

I’Jaz Ja’ciel’s reporting on Buffalo housing

Published by

While I’m proud of the work I did for Investigative Post in the early part of 2023, including my myth-busting story about lootings during the Christmas Blizzard of 2022 and the launch of ‘East Side Stories’, I feel that my most impactful work came at the end of the year, when I started looking into Black homeownership in Buffalo and Erie County. Buffalo has a history of inequities in housing, from segregation to redlining. They have resulted in barriers to homeownership for the city’s Black residents. In fact, the number of African-Americans who own their homes in the city has[...]
