The Dekleptocracy Journal began as the Alliance's organization blog. It has grown into something the field has been missing — a trade journal for transparency activism, where investigative reporters and OSINT researchers publish work focused on the specific nodes of authoritarian power where transparency causes the most disruption.

Editorially, the Journal goes where investigative reporting is most needed and least sustained: global authoritarian networks, the financial enablers, and the corporate and legal infrastructure that holds those networks together. Every investigation is paired with a graph database explorer that lets readers trace the connections themselves.

Multiple writers and investigators contribute, most of whom must remain anonymous for reasons of safety, employment, or operational security. Protecting contributors is non-negotiable.

Before the Journal can spin out as its own independent entity, it needs to hire an editor and put basic legal protections in place — including litigation insurance, a non-negotiable cost when your beat is people who sue everyone who looks at them. Your subscription brings that day closer.
