We work hard to hold our elected leaders and institutions accountable, to make sure your tax dollars are spent properly. And we've expanded our investigative team to serve both our KPCC listeners and those of you who read our work on LAist.com. We're committed to deliver more accountability journalism to our audience.

If you have a tip about waste, fraud, corruption or other matters you believe need to be uncovered, we're listening.

What makes a good tip?

  • The best tips are on matters of significance to the larger community.
  • If you have documentation, even better.
