Journalism in the public interest. And no, we're not shutting up.
About us
ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account. With a team of more than 75 dedicated journalists, ProPublica covers a range of topics including government and politics, business, criminal justice, the environment, education, health care, immigration, and technology. We focus on stories with the potential to spur real-world impact. Among other positive changes, 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. Investigative journalism requires a great deal of time and resources, and many newsrooms can no longer afford to take on this kind of deep-dive reporting. As a nonprofit, ProPublica’s work is powered primarily through donations. The vast bulk of the money we spend goes directly into world-class, award-winning journalism. We are committed to uncovering the truth, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, and we practice transparent financial reporting so donors know how their dollars are spent. ProPublica was founded in 2007-2008 with the belief that investigative journalism is critical to our democracy. Our staff remains dedicated to carrying forward the important work of exposing corruption, informing the public about complex issues, and using the power of investigative journalism to spur reform.

One year ago this month, the Lahaina wildfire in Maui killed more than 100 people, destroyed over 2,200 structures and displaced nearly 13,000 residents, the police said. Soon after the blaze, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green and his lieutenant governor signed a series of emergency proclamations barring landlords on Maui from evicting tenants or raising rents in most cases. Despite that, some Maui property owners have capitalized on the crisis by pushing out tenants so they can house wildfire survivors for a lot more money. Honolulu Civil Beat reporter Nick Grube, in partnership with ProPublica, has been speaking to people who have been displaced from their homes on Maui and investigating how one of the country’s most expensive rental markets was made worse by both the fires and the aid programs that followed. 📝 The full story: https://propub.li/4dDDXc8

Rounding up migrants, food drives for the homeless, “friendly” sheriff lists and debating political assassinations. Those are just some of the topics Three Percenters militia leaders discussed in more than 100,000 private messages obtained by ProPublica’s Joshua Kaplan. The messages, which span the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol through early 2024, provide a rare inside view of one of the largest militias in America at a crucial moment in American politics. 📝 Read our full investigation: https://propub.li/3YVVWpG
