Investigative environmental audience with high-trust, low-volume reach
- Median of 166 views per video, with one 83,500-view outlier from March 2026 showing latent reach.
- Uploads about 10 videos per year, so the channel suits a single campaign rather than a recurring slot.
- Zero sponsored videos in the last 50 uploads keeps the channel editorially independent.

Reporting covers displacement of Dalit farmers and sand mining deaths, such as 'An end too soon', but contains no graphic content; political sensitivity comes from corporate and government land deals.

We believe that environmental journalism can improve the ways we live and the ways we treat our planet. This kind of journalism can bring newsrooms together, it can bring communities together and it can help us all make more informed decisions. The urgency to preserve the environment transcends politics and economics. We’re all in the same boat. That’s why we, a group of reporters and editors across Asia, and elsewhere, decided to join forces to rethink how environmental journalism is done. Reach us at contact@investigative.earth.

About Environmental Reporting Collective
Environmental Reporting Collective (@ercinvestigates) is a group of journalists and editors across Asia and elsewhere who produce investigative environmental reporting on YouTube. Its videos cover data center expansion, sand mining, illegal fishing and the human costs of the energy transition, often in long-form documentary or explainer format. The channel has about 1,700 subscribers and posts roughly 10 videos a year, with a median of 166 views per video.
The audience is estimated to be small and engaged, likely made up of journalists, researchers, environmental advocates and policy-minded viewers rather than mass consumer audiences. Viewers are mostly English-speaking and concentrated in India, Indonesia and other parts of Asia, though this is an estimate from the content and not channel analytics.
The channel does not currently offer sponsored integrations and has no disclosed brand work. Based on the metrics, a brand booking would fall in a range of about $150 to $250 per video at this view level, roughly $20 to $35 CPM, which compares with $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads. Best suited to NGOs and clean energy brands seeking credibility over reach.
