About the role

ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.
ProPublica's Local Reporting Network helps produce vital, investigative journalism in communities where such stories would otherwise not be done.
Now entering its ninth year, the program will be taking on 15 new partnerships over the course of 2026.

1, 2026, through Sept.
Successful candidates will have a proven track record of investigative reporting and impact, and will provide a memo about the project they're proposing working on for the duration of the one-year partnership.
Strong applications will express why the project needs to be told in your community - we're eager for projects that can't be done anywhere else.
The work will be published or broadcast by your newsroom and simultaneously by ProPublica.
ProPublica reporters and editors are available to answer questions or to give you feedback on your application before you submit it.
Please reach us at Local.Reporting@propublica.org.
No phone calls, please.
We know there are great candidates who may not fit into what we've described above or who have important skills we haven't thought of.

For these partnerships, ProPublica will provide a grant, to be paid in monthly installments, to the selected newsroom reflecting the annual salary (up to $80,000 plus a 25% allowance for benefits) for one full-time reporter in each newsroom
