Welcome

      Who

      made the RD?

      An investigative reporter designed the Reporter's Desktop as a launch pad for everyday work. A single page to focus thinking on varied, detailed and often urgent reporting needs. An everyday tool for deadline reporting.

      The RD is offered here for the good of the greater community of journalists.

      At an investigative reporters' conference in Phoenix, somebody asked me suspiciously, "What's in this for you?"  So cynical!  I get nothing but the best web page I can design to launch my own work, and the pleasure of trying to keep up with the best reporting tools on the web.

      A number of reporters and editors are helping to watch for better sites and new web services to add to those on the RD -- or better yet, replace them with better tools to accomplish the same reporting goals.

      If you like the RD, please help. Send your comments and suggestions to:
