A selection of independent media, investigative, and case-focused websites created and managed by Michael Phillips.
These projects span journalism, public-interest reporting, accountability coverage, and client or individual case documentation. Each site is designed with a distinct purpose, audience, and editorial approach.

About This Work
My projects are built at the intersection of journalism, investigation, public accountability, and digital publishing. Some are media platforms intended for ongoing reporting. Others are case-specific sites created to organize facts, documents, timelines, and analysis in a way that is accessible to the public.
This portfolio reflects both editorial independence and mission-driven digital publishing.
