The name Muckety derives, of course, from
"muckety mucks". Some follow the money. We follow the muckety, producing a daily news and information site based on online databases (which we enlarge daily), extensive research and old-fashioned journalism.
We strive for accurate, timely, objective journalism. Although you may sometimes see ads with a political point of view (served automatically through ad services such as Google AdSense), we aim to be nonpartisan in our maps, news stories and databased information.
Our founders/editors are award-winning journalists Laurie Bennett, Gary Jacobson and John Decker.
Bennett and Decker were co-founders of ePodunk, a high-traffic web site about places in the U.S., Canada and the UK. They also worked together as members of the founding online team at the Detroit Free Press. Decker previously was multimedia editor of The New York Times on the Web.
Bennett, a winner of the George Polk Award, also worked as a reporter for the Free Press, Detroit News, Gannett News Service in Washington, D.C., and as city editor of the Rochester (NY) Times-Union. |

Cryptome
welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide, in particular material on freedom of expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and classified documents -- but not limited to those. Documents are removed from this site only by order served directly by a US court having jurisdiction. No court order has ever been served; any order served will be published here -- or elsewhere if gagged by order. |

Croc Tail: Information About Corporations and Their Subsidiaries CrocTail provides an interface for browsing information about several hundred thousand U.S. publicly traded corporations and their foreign subsidiaries. Information from company filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been parsed and annotated by CorpWatch to provide a way for users to research and add issues related to corporate subsidiaries. CrocTail also serves as a demonstration of the features and data available through the CorpWatch API. |
| Crocodyl: Collaborative Research On Corporations Crocodyl is a collaboration sponsored by CorpWatch, the Center for Corporate Policy and the Corporate Research Project. Our aim is to stimulate collaborative research among NGOs, journalists, activists, whistleblowers and academics from both the global South and North in order to develop publicly-available profiles of the world's most powerful corporations. The result is an evolving compendium of critical research, posted to the public domain as an aid to anyone working to hold corporations increasingly accountable. Get the latest... |
| Corp Watch: Holding Corporations Accountable Our interactive guide takes you through the steps of researching a corporation on the Internet -- how to find information about a corporation's business strategy and operations, financial status, and environmental and social record. If you are new to corporate research, develop a research plan before you start your project. Perhaps you are looking to do deeper research. In that case, check out Industry Research or Corporations & Politics. If you're ready to start digging for dirt go straight to our Hands-On Corporate Research Guide. Whether you are new to corporate research or a veteran muckraker, we hope this guide will be of use. CorpWatch founder Joshua Karliner's book, The Corporate Planet: Ecology and Politics in the Age of Globalization (Sierra Club Books, 1997) continues to be an excellent research tool for the impacts of corporate globalization. |
