ProPublica
ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom focused on providing investigative journalism in the public interest.
ProPublica's mission is to expose abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust by government, business, and other institutions, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing.
ProPublica was founded in 2008 to address a broad decline in investigative reporting amid the collapse of the business model that had supported American journalism for more than a century. Today, with a team of over 190 editorial staffers across 29 states, ProPublica is the largest newsroom in American journalism that’s devoted solely to investigative reporting. Our journalists dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust. Our reporting has contributed to the passage of new laws; reversals of harmful policies and practices; and accountability for leaders at local, state and national levels.
