ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. We aim to stimulate positive change, uncovering unsavory practices and abuses of power in order to prod reform. We focus on systemic problems that defy easy, short-term solutions. We do this in an entirely non-partisan and non-ideological manner, adhering to the strictest standards of journalistic impartiality. Our reporting has empowered readers, changed laws and policies, and helped bring bad actors to justice.
As a non-profit focused on journalism in the public interest, we make almost all of our stories available without charge for reprint by other organizations and encourage the use of our data to localize stories.
Generous support from the GGF helps support deep-dive investigative reporting on the environment and climate change with the goal of spurring real-world change. In the last year, our focus has been on environmental accountability and justice through reporting on climate migration, plastics, health, and regulatory issues.
