Get In Touch: Crowdsourcing and Community-Driven Reporting at ProPublica

Learn more about how ProPublica connects with communities through engagement reporting.

How did our reporters help give voice to Alaska’s unheard sexual assault survivors in a first-of-its-kind story-sharing project? How did listening to communities in Florida’s heartland help hold the sugar industry and regulators accountable for pollution? How did we engage community members in an investigation that led to a groundbreaking report on cancer-causing industrial air emissions across the country?

Join us and learn more directly from the reporters at the heart of stories like these. ProPublica’s award-winning engagement reporting team works with the communities our journalism is about, from patients to moms to tech workers to grocery shoppers. They mobilize people who have experiences, evidence and leads to share, in order to tell stories that hold the powerful accountable.

They’ll discuss how they collaborate on some of our hardest-hitting investigations using a wide range of tools. You’ve probably seen our questionnaires and tip lines, but you might not know about our citizen-fueled science, browser extensions or postcard campaigns. This community-driven journalism allows us to connect with our readers in unique ways and maximizes our potential for impact and service.

Join our engagement team for this exclusive donor conversation moderated by crowdsourcing and engagement team editor, Ariana Tobin.
