Impact has been at the heart of ProPublica’s mission since we began publishing 15 years ago. Every day, ProPublica’s reporters are digging into corruption, breaches of the public trust and institutional failures with the hope that a sustained spotlight on wrongdoing will spur change. In 2023, our work has led to laws being passed, people resigning from powerful positions, congressional investigations being launched and much more.

This virtual program, provided exclusively for our donor community, details our impact in 2023. Hear firsthand from the reporters and editors at the center of some of our biggest stories of the year and ask your questions.

We’ll feature the following investigations:
