How To Become A Freelance Investigative Journalist
Over the weekend, I wrote about how the Sunlight Foundation is creating a place where citizen journalists and journalists can work together to uncover big stories.

I asked a simple question: "What are some other databases that citizen journalists can explore alongside mainstream reporters?"

To answer my question, Áine MacDermot (one of the most prolific writers on the journalism analysis site, Newsvine) sent me an impressive list.

So impressive that I decided to print her whole set of resources...

"I have these sites listed in my Recommendations section of my column's sidebar:
  1. Center for Public Integrity
  2. Cryptome
  3. Defense Contracts
  4. Fact Check
  5. FedSpending.org"
Aine's list continues after the jump...
"
  1. IRC Right Web Profiles Index
  2. Lobbying Disclosure Forms: Congress
  3. National Security Archive
  4. Net Worth: Lawmaker PFDs
  5. On the Issues
  6. Open Secrets: Campaign Funding
  7. Project Vote Smart
  8. PRWatch
  9. SourceWatch
  10. Top Congressional Travelers
  11. Under the Influence: Special Interests"
