What is the Local Reporting Network?

Since its founding in 2018, the Local Reporting Network has grown into one of ProPublica’s marquee undertakings, bringing together local talented journalists and all the resources our newsroom has to offer. The journalism we create has changed laws, held bad actors to account and helped communities. It has strengthened the craft of local investigative journalism and created a network in dialogue with us and with one another.

In 2024, we launched the 50 State Initiative, a commitment to support yearlong projects in every state by 2029. We have also launched our Sustainability Desk, which allows us to work with former partners on shorter-term investigations. Are you a local journalist interested in collaborating? Please read more about all the ways to collaborate with us.
