ProPublica has selected three partner newsrooms to work with its Local Reporting Network over the next three years. Each of the participating local media partners — Arizona Luminaria, Invisible Institute and the New York Amsterdam News — will dedicate a reporter for a three-year term to focus solely on investigative reporting, in collaboration with ProPublica’s editors and specialized teams. This project is made possible by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
“Over the last six years, the Local Reporting Network has delivered critical reporting to communities across the country and prompted real-life changes,” ProPublica Assistant Managing Editor Sarah Blustain said. “With the support from the Knight Foundation, we’re excited to be able to support more sustained partnerships with these three newsrooms, all of which have a demonstrated track record of investigative reporting. We’re thrilled to get started.”
