The Center for Public Integrity

The nonprofit Center for Public Integrity is now one of the most prestigious investigative reporting houses in the U.S., breaking scandal after scandal on its Web site.

"You can put a report up on the Web and it can make news all over the world in two seconds," Director Charles Lewis tells Mark Glaser in an interesting Q&A. "I think the ease of access and ease of dissemination is just thrilling."

The center won the first George Polk Award for Internet Reporting last year for its "Windfalls of War" report on government contracts awarded to companies involved in rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan. The report includes detailed lists how much money contractors have given to the Bush administration.

Stay tuned: Lewis says CPI will unveil a fairly massive redesign next month and has some "very ambitious ideas."
