Investigation Methods is the evergreen track on Gnosis News: practical how-tos for framing a claim, rating sources, filing FOIA requests, and publishing evidence-backed work — then doing the same work in the Gnosis product.
This page is the hub. News desk reporting stays the majority of what we publish; Methods posts are fewer (about one or two a week) and always carry the Investigations section label plus the Methods topic tag.
Start here
- Investigator Starter Kit — free one-page kit (claim, sources, first-publish checklist, FOIA walkthrough).
- About Gnosis — what the product is (vs this newsroom).
- Pricing — Free and Premium, including the Evidence Board.
Methods guides
Publish order for the first tranche (request indexing in Search Console after each go-live):
- How to get into investigative journalism (indie / evidence-first)
- How to write a one-sentence investigation claim
- Primary vs reported vs opinion vs unverified
- FOIA requests that survive appeal
After those index, we add guides on why the Evidence Board is Premium and how catalog subs compare to pay-per-view.
