Do you have evidence of judicial corruption, police or prosecutorial misconduct that other media refuses to report or investigate? Do you feel that you or a family member has been unjustly convicted? Do you have a case involving First Amendment rights? Would you like your story published?

The mainstream media is increasingly refusing to print stories that reveal wrongdoing of public officials and the media is helping officials cover up the truth, failing to report important stories because they might step on someone's toes who will stop their advertising support and pull the plug on access to needed information. All too many times the mainstream media is bought off and afraid to report the truth because of the controversy it may cause and the loss of advertisers. Those who are involved in controversial stories may never see their story and the truth printed in the mainstream media because the truth challenges those in power. If the police chief or sheriff get mad because you reported the malfeasance in his or her department, he or she may cut you off from all future news releases, not giving you the information that you need to compete, that your competitors receive because they don't report events and incidents public officials want to keep suppressed.

Investigative and independent journalism requires fact-finding, scrutiny of details and often times a review of public records. The in-depth reports require extensive time and resources.

The North Country Gazette specializes in independent, investigative journalism, bringing you such stories as the Michael Niesen case, an alleged cover up of a police killing of an 18-year-old; the Elsebeth Baumgartner free speech case in Ohio, facing 109 years in prison for criticizing a judge; the Mark Adams case in Florida, an attorney facing disbarment for tangling with a politically connected law firm and a judge who allegedly lied under oath; the Terri Schiavo case, a woman disabled in the prime of her life in a possible domestic violence situation who died as the result of judicial homicide; in-depth articles such as the California Oaths Project and child support services and the NYS Oaths Project and its impact on the judicial system.

If you would like an experienced investigative journalist with legal knowledge to investigate and report your case, contact The North Country Gazette. Only serious inquires are invited.
