THE SOFTWARE WE DEVELOPED IS NOW BEING USED BY UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, NGOS AND OTHER JOURNALISTS WORKING ON THEIR OWN INVESTIGATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. A KEY FEATURE OF DATASHARE IS ITS ABILITY TO SEARCH MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOCUMENTS (PDFS, SPREADSHEETS, SLIDES, IMAGES, TEXT DOCUMENTS, ETC.) TO SORT INFORMATION, EXTRACT EMAIL ADDRESSES AND RECOGNIZE NAMES OF PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCATIONS BASED ON THEIR CONTEXT. WE USE DATASHARE TO DEVELOP STORY IDEAS, TO CALCULATE KEY FINDINGS, TO STRUCTURE DATA, AND TO RECOGNIZE PATTERNS AND TRENDS THAT DRIVE THEIR REPORTING.RESEARCH AND DATA - ICIJ MAINTAINS A GROWING REPOSITORY OF MORE THAN 40 MILLION DOCUMENTS USED BY REPORTERS AND PARTNERS IN ICIJ INVESTIGATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDE PUBLIC ACCESS TO 930,000 RECORDS IN OUR OFFSHORE LEAKS AND INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL DEVICES DATABASES. ANYONE CAN USE THEM TO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH ON OFFSHORE COMPANIES OR ON MEDICAL DEVICE RECALLS, SAFETY ALERTS AND FIELD SAFETY NOTICES. MORE THAN 5 MILLION UNIQUE VISITORS USED OUR DATA LAST YEAR, VIEWING 16.8 MILLION PAGES. THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF 1,918 VIEWS EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. 1953688 0 0 EDITORIAL PROGRAM - OUR REVOLUTIONARY COLLABORATIVE MODEL REDEFINED JOURNALISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERTISE ALLOW HUNDREDS OF JOURNALISTS TO WORK TOGETHER ACROSS BORDERS TO PRODUCE IMPACTFUL, CONTEXTUAL, INSIGHTFUL PIECES THAT NO SINGLE NEWSROOM COULD PRODUCE ON ITS OWN. IN 2022, OUR NETWORK GREW TO 290 JOURNALISTS FROM MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES WHO EXPOSED GLOBAL INEQUITIES ON A WIDER VARIETY OF TOPICS THAN ICIJ HAS EVER COVERED BEFORE. THEIR REPORTING EXPOSED GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION, MONEY LAUNDERING AND TAX-EVASION SCHEMES THAT INVOLVED SOME OF THE WEALTHIEST AND MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. THEIR STORIES CHALLENGED THE WAY PEOPLE SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND HELPED GENERATE BADLY NEEDED REFORM.FIRST, THE ERICCSON LIST EXPOSED SECRET DEALS WITH IRAQI MILITANTS THAT ALLOWED A SWEDISH TELECOM GIANT TO AVOID CUSTOMS AND SMUGGLE EQUIPMENT INTO TERRORIST-HELD AREAS. THE UBER FILES REVEALED HOW AN AGGRESSIVE LOBBYING STRATEGY HELPED THE RIDE-HAILING GIANT COZY UP TO WORLD LEADERS, AVOID TAXES AND BURST INTO NEW MARKETS IN DEFIANCE OF LOCAL ORDINANCES. SHADOW DIPLOMATS TOLD HOW ROGUE HONORARY CONSULS UNDERMINE AN OBSCURE SYSTEM OF GLOBAL DIPLOMACY TO SMUGGLE GOODS ACROSS BORDERS AND EVADE JUSTICE. HIDDEN TREASURES BROUGHT TO LIGHT SHOCKING DETAILS ABOUT TRAFFICKED ART AND CULTURAL ARTIFACTS THAT LANDED IN PROMINENT COLLECTIONS INCLUDING AT NEW YORK'S METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART. THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR BIGGEST PROJECTS IN 2022.IMMEDIATELY AFTER RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE, OUR JOURNALISTS DUG INTO OUR MASSIVE DATA SETS AND EXPOSED SHELL COMPANIES THAT OLIGARCHS WERE USING TO BYPASS SANCTIONS. ANOTHER ICIJ TEAM DISCOVERED ILLEGAL LABOR PRACTICES USED BY U.S. MILITARY CONTRACTORS WHILE OTHER REPORTERS SHED NEW LIGHT ON MISTREATMENT OF CHINESE UYGHURS IN XINJIANG DETENTION CAMPS. IN EUROPE, ICIJ REPORTERS AND PARTNERS USED DOCUMENTS TO EXPOSE THE INNER WORKINGS OF A VIOLENT IRISH GANG OF DRUG TRAFFICKERS. OUR 2022 REPORTING LED TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FINES, MASS PROTESTS ACROSS EUROPE, INTERNATIONAL INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS OF UBER'S LOBBYING PRACTICES, DISMISSALS OF HONORARY CONSULS AND THE RETURN OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOOTED ANTIQUITIES. IT COULD BE YEARS BEFORE WE KNOW THE FULL IMPACT OF OUR WORK IN 2022. THAT'S BEEN THE CASE WITH OUR PREVIOUS PROJECTS WHOSE EFFECTS STILL REVERBERATE TODAY. ICIJ'S WORK IS CRUCIAL TO THE HEALTH OF DEMOCRACY AND TO THE WELLBEING OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. BY EXPOSING CORRUPTION, WRONGDOING AND INEQUITY, WE HOLD POWER TO ACCOUNT AND PROVIDE INFORMATION THE WORLD NEEDS TO RIGHT ITSELF. 3986803 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 24 0 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X MARYSE SULIMMA 2028083310 1730 RHODE ISLAND AVE NW SUITE 317 WASHINGTON DC 20036 RHONA MURPHY CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER PAPACHRISTOU SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BIRGIT RIECK TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM STEINBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEJANDRA XANIC VON BERTRAB WILHELM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAPO OLORUNYOMI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TONY NORMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GERARD RYLE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 264968 0 0 GORDON DUNLOP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 143000 0 0 MARYSE SULIMMA CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (FROM 5/22) 40.00 X 77836 0 9326 JEFFREY WOOLVERTON CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER 40.00 X 160090 0 10849 FERGUS SHIEL MANAGING EDITOR 40.00 X 154660 0 35914 SYDNEY FREEDBERG CHIEF REPORTER 40.00 X 140229 0 25393 MICHAEL HUDSON SENIOR EDITOR 40.00 X 134707 0 36356 BENJAMIN HALLMAN SENIOR EDITOR 40.00 X 134168 0 34629 1209658 0 152467 9 0 1 0 HAMISH BOLAND-RUDDER 6/69 BURNS BAY ROAD LANE COVE AS 2066 COORDINATES & SUPPORTS ICIJ WEBSITE CONT 112068 PIERRE ROMERA 14 AVENUE LEDRU ROLLIN PARIS IDF FR 75012 INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT 111988 DEAN STARKMAN TARAGATO UT 106 B BUDAPEST HU 1021 REASARCHES, WRITES & EDITS STORIES FOR O 111384 3 221542 6098873 6320415 4913 4913 6325328 0 0 4913 X 495130 167697 247943 79490 1768110 1436147 69627 262336 60444 47713 4051 8680 223519 176440 14981 32098 144313 113916 9673 20724 60268 60268 128939 128939 53499 53499 150 150 1495647 1388231 100135 7281 40343 15301 20974 4068 54947 23024 13444 18479 293033 252784 10426 29823 49125 40251 5906 2968 288810 217482 39047 32281 8225 3837 220 4168 26 26 9617 6710 1941 966 64117 44619 12899 6599 EDITORIAL SUPPORT 53168 42632 3454 7082 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 12683 8835 823 3025 1711 1184 160 367 5305824 3986803 745087 573934 1300077 761370 2769990 4400977 56222 85676 89587 72702 10301 16885 3813 0 3479834 4003320 21111 339677 7641348 9607905 98827 160667 0 520859 3159 336032 101986 1017558 X 3846735 2889898 3692627 5700449 7539362 8590347 7641348 9607905 X 1019504 13743 17738 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 6801653 6055787 2994964 5950953 6320415 28123772 6801653 6055787 2994964 5950953 6320415 28123772 15026850 13096922 35675 27391 647 4913 68626 28192398 0.46460 0.51840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 84015 68413 15602 5572 4289 1283 16885 CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT 2960858 F MONEY MARKET FUNDS 1042462 F 4003320 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 336032 336032 6349121 13743 10200 -150 23793 6325328 0 6325328 5315874 10200 10200 5305674 150 150 5305824 PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: INVESTMENT FEES INCLUDED ON FORM 990 PART IX LINE 1F -150.
