The payoff is when we first break major stories and later see change come as a result. The power of our reporting was on full display this summer when a Manhattan jury convicted Alain Kaloyeros, Louis Ciminelli and two Syracuse-based developers on corruption charges. The federal probe that lead to the filing of charges was triggered by reporting done by Investigative[...]

Associated Press honors iPost reporting

Eighteen Mile Creek in Niagara County is so polluted that the state Department of Health doesn’t want people to eat the fish caught there. It’s one of only six waterbodies in the state with such a warning. This hasn’t stopped another arm of the state, the Department of Environmental Conservation, from stocking[...]
