Google Co-Hosting a Conference on Investigative Reporting and Tech

When you're a lengthy story about systemic corruption, you may well be incredibly important; you may not, however, be incredibly interesting. Enter the Center for Investigative Reporting. And then: Enter Google. The two -- the former, the U.S.'s oldest investigative reporting nonprofit, and the latter, well, Google -- are teaming up with the Public Insight Network to host a new conference: TechRaking 2012, a summit that will be held at Google's Mountain View campus on April 12. "This one-day gathering will bring together technologists and muckrakers to form a more perfect union," the summit's invitation declares.
