ProPublica(/prˈpʌblɪkə/),[2]legallyPro Publica, Inc.,is a nonprofitinvestigative journalismorganization based in New York City. ProPublica's investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters, and the resulting stories are distributed to news partners for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and its partners work together on a story. ProPublica has partnered with more than 90 different news organizations and has won severalPulitzer Prizes.[3][4]

In 2010, it became the first online news source to win a Pulitzer Prize; the story chronicled the urgent life-and-death decisions made by one hospital's exhausted doctors when they were cut off by the floodwaters ofHurricane Katrina,[5][6][7]and was published both inThe New York Times Magazine[8]and ProPublica's website.[9]

History

[edit]

ProPublica was the brainchild ofHerbertandMarion Sandler,the former chief executives of theGolden West Financial Corporation,who have committed $10 million a year to the project.[10]The Sandlers hiredPaul Steiger,former managing editor ofThe Wall Street Journal,to create and run the organization as editor in chief.

At the time ProPublica was set up, Steiger responded to concerns about the role of the left-leaning political views of the Sandlers, saying onThe Newshour with Jim Lehrer:

Coming into this, when I talked to Herb and Marion Sandler, one of my concerns was precisely this question of independence and nonpartisanship... My history has been doing "down the middle" reporting. And so when I talked to Herb and Marion I said "Are you comfortable with that?" They said, "Absolutely." I said, "Well, suppose we did an exposé of some of the left leaning organizations that you have supported or that are friendly to what you've supported in the past." They said, "No problem." And when we set up our organizational structure, the board of directors, on which I sit and which Herb is the chairman, does not know in advance what we're going to report on.[11]

ProPublica had an initial news staff of 28 reporters and editors,[12]includingPulitzer PrizewinnersCharles Ornstein,Tracy Weber,Jeff Gerth,andMarcus Stern.Steiger was reported to have received 850 applications[13]upon ProPublica's announcement. The organization appointed a 12-member advisory board of professional journalists.

The newsgroup shares its work under theCreative Commonsno-derivative, non-commercial license.[14]

On August 5, 2015,Yelpannounced a partnership with ProPublica to bring improved healthcare data into Yelp's statistics on healthcare providers.[15]

Funding

[edit]

While theSandler Foundationprovided ProPublica with significant financial support, it also has received funding from theKnight Foundation,MacArthur Foundation,Pew Charitable Trusts,Ford Foundation,the Carnegie Corporation,and theAtlantic Philanthropies.[16]ProPublica and the Knight Foundation have various connections. For example, Paul Steiger, executive chairman of ProPublica, is a trustee of the Knight Foundation.[17]In like manner, Alberto Ibarguen, the president and CEO of the Knight Foundation is on the board of ProPublica.[18]ProPublica, along with other major news outlets, received grant funding fromSam Bankman-Fried,the founder of cryptocurrency exchangeFTX.[19]

ProPublica has attracted attention for the salaries it pays its employees.[20][21]In 2008, Paul Steiger, the editor of ProPublica, received a salary of $570,000.[22]Steiger was formerly the managing editor atThe Wall Street Journal,where his total compensation (includingoptions[22]) was double that at ProPublica.[23]Steiger's stated strategy is to use aWall Street Journalpay model to attract journalistic talent.[24]In 2010, eight ProPublica employees made more than $160,000, including managing editor Stephen Engelberg ($343,463) and the highest-paid reporter,Dafna Linzer,formerly of theWashington Post($205,445).[25]

Notable reporting and projects

[edit]

"An Unbelievable Story of Rape"

[edit]

T. Christian Millerof ProPublica andKen ArmstrongofThe Marshall Projectcollaborated on this piece about the process that discovered a serial rapist in Colorado and Washington state.[42]The piece won a 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting.[43]This piece was adapted into the 2019NetflixseriesUnbelievable.[44]

Bias with COMPAS software

[edit]

In 2016, ProPublica published an investigation of theCOMPAS algorithmused byU.S. courtsto assess the likelihood of adefendantbecoming arecidivist.[45]Led byJulia Angwin,the investigation found that “blacks are almost twice as likely as whites to be labeled a higher risk but not actually re-offend,” whereas COMPAS “makes the opposite mistake among whites: They are much more likely than blacks to be labeled lower-risk but go on to commit other crimes.”[45][46][47]They also found that only 20 percent of people predicted to commit violent crimes actually went on to do so.[45]

COMPAS developer Northpointe criticized ProPublica’s methodology,[45]while a team at theCommunity Resources for Justice,a criminal justicethink tank,published a rebuttal of the investigation's findings.[48]

Psychiatric Solutions

[edit]

ProPublica conducted a large-scale, circumscribed investigation onPsychiatric Solutions,a company based in Tennessee that buys failing hospitals, cuts staff, and accumulates profit.[49]The report covered patient deaths at numerous Psychiatric Solutions facilities, the failing physical plant at many of their facilities, and covered theState of Florida's first closure ofManatee Palms Youth Services,which has since been shut down[50]by Florida officials once again.[51]Their report was published in conjunction with theLos Angeles Times.

Documenting Hate

[edit]

In 2017, ProPublica launched theDocumenting Hateproject for systematic tracking ofhate crimesandbias incidents.[52]The project is part of their Civil Rights beat, and allows victims or witnesses of hate crime incidents to submit stories. The project also allows journalists and newsrooms to partner with ProPublica to write stories based on the dataset they are collecting. For example, the MinneapolisStar Tribunepartnered with ProPublica to write about reporting of hate crimes in Minnesota.[53]

Surgeon Scorecard

[edit]

In 2015, ProPublica launched Surgeon Scorecard, an interactive database that allows users to view complication rates for eight common elective procedures. The tool allows users to find surgeons and hospitals, and see their complication rates.[54]The database was controversial, drawing criticism from doctors and prompting a critique fromRAND.[55][56]However, statisticians, includingAndrew Gelman,stood behind their decision to attempt to shine light on an opaque aspect of the medical field,[57]and ProPublica offered specific rebuttals to RAND's claims.[58]

Tracking evictions and rent stabilization in New York City

[edit]

ProPublica has created an interactive map that allows people to search for addresses in New York City to see the effects of eviction cases.[59]The app was nominated for aLivingston Award.[60]

Taxes paid by wealthiest Americans

[edit]

In June 2021, after receiving leaked, hacked, or stolen[61][62]IRSdocuments, ProPublica published a report which claimed that tax rates for the wealthiest Americans were significantly lower than the average middle class tax rate, if unrealizedcapital gainsare considered as equivalent toearned income.[63]ProPublica would later reveal that technology investor and political donorPeter Thiellegally earned over $5 billion in a tax-freeRoth IRAaccount through his investments in private companies.[64]Attorney GeneralMerrick Garlandtold lawmakers that investigating the source of the release would be a top priority for the Justice Department.[65]

Juvenile Court Judge policies jail innocent black children

[edit]

Research byProPublicaandNashville Public Radiofound juvenile incarcerations inRutherford County, Tennesseeto be far higher than the national average. The investigation, published in October 2021 as "Black Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn’t Exist. Almost Nothing Happened to the Adults in Charge", revealed that county authorities had charged some of the children under non-existent laws, as directed by JudgeDonna Scott Davenport,and that, among Tennessee children referred to juvenile court, the statewide rate of incarceration was five percent, while in Rutherford County it was 48 percent.[66]The article was a finalist in the 2022National Magazine Awards.[67]Reportage continued bypodcast,withThe Kids of Rutherford County.[68]

Cancer-causing industrial air pollution map

[edit]

In 2021, ProPublica published the results of a two-year analytical project involving examining billions of rows of EPA data to create a map to chart industrial pollution at the neighborhood level – the first of its kind. In five years' worth of EPA data, ProPublica identified over 1,000 toxic hotspots nationwide, estimating that 250,000 people living near these areas may have been exposed to levels of cancer risk that the EPA deems unacceptable.[69][70]ProPublica intended to represent data in a way where the public can understand the risk of breathing the air where they live. Through the map, the town ofVerona, Missouriwas identified to have an industrial cancer risk 27 times larger than the acceptable value. Subsequently, the EPA agreed to install three air monitors to track ethylene oxide concentration in Verona.[71][better source needed]Additional "hot spots" identified on the map include the city ofLongviewin eastern Texas; the most high-risk area of Longview has a risk level 72 times greater than the EPA's acceptable risk. This most high-risk area is the home of Texas Eastman Chemical Plant. According to ProPublica, its analysis of the plant's emissions detectedethylene oxideand1-3 butadiene.The Texas Eastman Chemical Plant says it has conducted its own tests which "have revealed no areas of concern."[72]

Gina Haspel and subsequent retractions

[edit]

In 2017, ProPublica published an investigative report detailing the involvement ofGina Haspelinenhanced interrogation techniquesat a black site in Thailand. The report focused particularly on the harsh methods used onAbu Zubaydah,including waterboarding, confinement in small boxes, and wall slamming. In 2018, ProPublica retracted part of its 2017 report that incorrectly stated Gina Haspel was in charge of the black site. This retraction came after Haspel was nominated to lead theCIA,sparking renewed scrutiny of her record. The correction affected the credibility and impact of reporting on this topic, as highlighted by discussions in major news outlets likeAP News.[73][74]

The Repatriation Project

[edit]

In 2023, ProPublica launched an investigative series uncovering the complexities and delays in repatriating Native American remains and cultural items under the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The series exposed institutional resistance from museums and universities, driving significant policy discussions[75]and increased efforts toward compliance. This investigative work earned Mary Hudetz the Richard LaCourse Award for Investigative Journalism from the Indigenous Journalists Association in July 2024.[41][40]
