The Year in Impact

Join us as we highlight the impact of ProPublica’s reporting in 2021, from far-reaching legislative reforms to helping solve a murder

As lawmakers debate how to fund President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package, a wealth tax on billionaires has become a lightning rod in the halls of Congress and on evening cable news. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law far-reaching reforms to a program intended to help parents of brain-damaged newborns. In New York, the city council announced an ambitious slate of legislation to reshape the NYPD and increase accountability at the nation’s largest police force. In a Baltimore County Police evidence room, an officer used decades-old DNA samples to solve a cold-case murder.

What do these seemingly disparate events have in common? ProPublica’s reporting helped spur all of these changes.

From sweeping legislative reforms to cold case breakthroughs, join us for an exclusive look at the impact our reporting has made this year. We will highlight some of our most explosive stories, which range from what the White House knew of Jan. 6 to booster-seat companies prioritizing profits over the safety of children, and hear directly from editors and reporters about the challenges they faced and the stories they most enjoyed working on. We will also answer your questions, which you can include in your registration below.
