Investigate Midwest is a media production organization focused on investigative journalism. It aims to serve the public interest by exposing dangerous and costly practices of influential agricultural corporations and institutions through in-depth, data-driven reporting. The group is based in Champaign, Illinois, and operates within the investigative journalism space to illuminate power dynamics in the agribusiness sector. Its audience includes the general public and stakeholders seeking accountability around agribusiness and related policy issues. In June 2026, Investigate Midwest announced the addition of summer interns, including Caspar Dowdy as a reporting intern and Paloma Sanchez-McGee as an audience engagement intern, through the Scripps Howard Fund's nonprofit newsroom internship program.
