Investor News is an independent financial news and education publisher for everyday investors. We cover public stocks, Reg A+ and other private offerings, gold and precious metals, and crypto, with one editorial spine across every beat: what's being promoted, who's getting caught, and what to understand first. Our rules-based scanner flags stocks showing the public footprint of a promotion campaign and publishes the evidence. Our newsroom's white-collar-crime reporting won the Los Angeles Press Club's 64th SoCal Journalism Award (Consumer News or Feature). We make money from subscribers only. We never take payment, stock, or anything of value from a company, dealer, promoter, or offering to cover it, and nothing we publish is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Our multi-part investigation into an alleged $370 million COVID-19 PPE fraud scheme — reported by investigative journalist Aitana Vargas — won the Los Angeles Press Club's 64th SoCal Journalism Award (Consumer News or Feature, 2022). The subjects tried to stop the series in court, and lost: a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed the attempt under California's anti-SLAPP law. We report the serious issues investors need to know, including independent coverage of Reg A+ and Reg D offerings. Our only loyalty is to readers: we do not accept payment from companies or promoters for coverage.
