ProPublica
Online | Independent
ProPublica is an independent non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. ProPublica's investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters and the resulting stories are given away to news 'partners' for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and the news partners work together on a story. Recent news partners have included 60 Minutes, WNYC, the Albany Times Union, the New York Sun, Salon.com, MSN Money, Newsweek, Politico, the Los Angeles Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
