Hi. I work at OCCRP. I understand and appreciate your concerns.
Our organisation has a simple goal: uncovering what happened in places where that does not happen much. That can only ever be done partially (which opens any news media up to accusations of bias - often justified). But I think it's a worthwhile thing to do.
Please don't think that people at OCCRP are unaware that they are acting in a political context. Working there for the past few years, I've become more and more convinced that our reporters and editors are controlled by strong professional ethics and a real desire to get the deeper levels of a story.
Money-wise: I'd love for us to be funded by non-political funds. Can you name any? We do a niche thing that is extremely expensive, advertising and subscriptions don't give us a workable math.
