DCBureau.org Launches with Investigations of Pentagon Mistreatment of Marine
Corps Families and an Unlicensed Company Selling Influence in Iraq

New site offers investigations for free use to all news platforms and gives
journalists access to breaking investigations

WASHINGTON, June 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The nonprofit Public Education
Center (PEC), an investigative journalism organization whose reporters have
produced stories for the New York Times, ABC, PBS and numerous other outlets,
is now making stories available at DCBureau.org. The new site will run
original investigative stories.

Led by legendary investigative journalists Joe and Susan Trento, DCBureau.org
will include a news feed offering journalists and editors free access to
breaking investigations. For almost 20 years PEC reporters have worked with
journalists to bring important investigative stories to the public - they
provided the tip that won David Barstow of the New York Times this year's
Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.

Journalists can sign up for email alerts by visiting www.DCBureau.org.

With the launch, PEC released Poisoned Patriots, by reporter Adam Sarvana.
Poisoned Patriots chronicles the efforts of former residents of Camp Lejeune
to force the military to disclose whether 30 years of contaminated well water
led to the deaths of children, wives, and husbands.

Additionally, DCBureau.org features National Security correspondent Adam
Lichtenheld's latest story uncovering an unlicensed firm working as a
middleman between American war profiteers and Iraqi officials.

All current PEC Web sites: naturalresourcesnewsservice.org (nrns.org);
storiesthatmatter.org; and iraqwarnews.org will be folded into the new site,
DCBureau.org.

Joe and Susan Trento may be contacted for comment on the stories investigated
by calling 202-466-4310. Joe Trento was previously a pioneering investigative
reporter for CNN and began his career working for columnist Jack Anderson.
Susan Trento, the author of The Power House, is a recognized authority on the
intersection of lobbying, public relations, and government in Washington DC,
and has appeared on numerous major television and radio programs.

PEC's National Security News Service (NSNS) was founded in 1989. It was the
first nonprofit journalism organization that worked in the public interest
covering the intelligence community and the Pentagon. The success of NSNS led
to the creation of the Natural Resources News Service (NRNS) in 1993 to cover
the environment.

For almost 20 years, PEC's two news services have worked with journalists to
cover important investigative stories.
