Correctiv (self-styled CORRECT!V) is a German nonprofit investigative journalism newsroom based in Essen. It is run by CORRECTIV – Recherchen für die Gesellschaft gemeinnützige GmbH ("CORRECTIV – Investigations for the Society Charitable Limited"), which also runs the online journalism academy Reporterfabrik.

Its stated goal is "to give citizens access to information." With about 20 staff members, Correctiv claims to be the first nonprofit investigative center in Germany. Correctiv describes itself as an organization that is "one of the many answers to the media crisis." Correctiv occasionally publishes reports in multiple languages beside German including Arabic, English, French, Russian and Turkish, via its website and partner outlets.

History

Correctiv was initiated in 2014 by the charitable organization "CORRECTIV – Recherchen für die Gesellschaft" ("CORRECTIV – Research for Society") based in Essen and has been supported by the Brost Foundation with a grant of €1 million per year for three years.

Correctiv.Lokal, a network for joint research by local journalists, bloggers and experts, was launched in August 2018 together with the Rudolf Augstein Foundation.

In May 2020, the Salon5 youth editorial team was founded with the support of the Ruhr Conference of the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia and the RAG Foundation.

Organization

Despite depending on establishment foundations and corporations for most of its funding, Correctiv claims to be "nonprofit, independent and investigative".
