ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as they’re published.
Investigative reporting can require months, or even years, of work before it’s published; that’s ProPublica’s specialty. Our reporters go into the world, sometimes following a hunch or a tip; spend ages burrowing down a rabbit hole; and emerge having frequently uncovered deeply unsettling abuses of power. It’s why our work often falls outside the day-to-day news cycle.

ProPublica was founded in 2008 to address a growing lack of investigative reporting amid a shrinking news business. The crisis of the press continues today, and over the past several years accountability journalism at local and regional levels has been particularly hard hit.
Since our founding, ProPublica has partnered with local newsrooms across the country to bring much needed scrutiny to their public officials, private businesses and other institutions. Since 2017, we have invested additional resources in a range of initiatives to support local accountability journalism.
