Impact Architects Acquires the Impact Tracker from Reveal

IA will focus on the future of the Impact Tracker to support diverse, equitable, and inclusive journalism

In 2014, Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting launched the Impact Tracker, a pioneering software platform that used a new framework to qualitatively measure the impact of journalism. After nearly seven years of development, Reveal has transferred ownership of the Impact Tracker tool to Impact Architects.

I originally led the development of the tool and its underlying impact framework during my time working at Reveal, and I look forward to bringing this historical knowledge to bear on ongoing development of the platform.

At IA, we see a deeper understanding of the real-world change resulting from diverse, equitable, and inclusive journalism as key to the future of news and information. We are excited to take on the Impact Tracker and continue to develop the platform in service of this vision.

Reveal will continue to offer some training and resources about how the tool is used in its newsroom, focusing on the strategies they implemented to build a culture of impact measurement. Impact Architects will oversee continued development of the tool, provide technical training and support, and explore opportunities to further support the field to build and measure high-impact engagement and reporting strategies.
