Your Investigations: Archived Securely, Presented Powerfully
Is your groundbreaking investigative reporting—months or years of research, complex data analysis, sensitive source work—vulnerable across scattered publication archives or personal drives? As an Investigative Columnist, manually compiling proof of your findings for editors, award committees, or fellowship applications is a tedious distraction from the demanding work of uncovering the truth.
This lack of a centralized, secure archive risks losing access to vital published work if websites change or publications fold. More importantly, it hinders your ability to conclusively demonstrate the depth, methodology, and impact of your investigations to those who matter most—potentially costing you prestigious assignments, funding, or recognition for accountability journalism.
Authory provides the essential, automated platform for Investigative Columnists. We diligently find and permanently back up your published columns and reports from any online source. You gain a secure, searchable repository of your published work samples, an effortlessly updated portfolio showcasing your investigative prowess, analytics to track your reporting's reach, and the professional credibility that comes from having your most impactful work readily available and immaculately presented.
