“Over the last six years, the Local Reporting Network has delivered critical reporting to communities across the country and prompted real-life changes,” ProPublica Assistant Managing Editor Sarah Blustain said. “With the support from the Knight Foundation, we’re excited to be able to support more sustained partnerships with these three newsrooms, all of which have a demonstrated track record of investigative reporting. We’re thrilled to get started.” Local news organizations and reporters can apply for this program to work on investigative stories in their communities. ProPublica has launched the Local Reporting Network and is seeking five local accountability projects to fund and partner with. The organization will pay the salary (up to US$75,000), plus an allowance for benefits, for full-time reporters.

Selected reporters will work on their projects starting Oct. 1. The reporters will report to their home newsroom, with the guidance and support from ProPublica. Their work will be published or broadcast by their home newsroom and by ProPublica as well. Applicants must send a proposal describing an investigative project they want to pursue, the reporter who would be chosen to spearhead the work, and the suggested market salary for him or her.

The program was established in 2023 to expand the rank of editors with research experience in newsrooms across the country and will help to better reflect the entire country. Nine journalists from across the country will join four Propublica staff for this year’s program. The program is funded by the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, which supports journalism, film and arts organizations dedicated to strengthening social justice and democracy. Participants will take a five-day intensive editorial boot camp in New York with courses and panel discussions led by senior editors at Propublica.

After the boot camp, participants will meet almost every two months to continue the development seminar and be assigned the Propublica Senior Editor as a mentor for work and career advice.

He previously covered youth, race and justice at Connecticut Public Radio. There, he scrutinized Connecticut’s prisons and youth justice system. Hajela won a Society of Professional Journalists award for his coverage of educational attainment behind bars. Before that, he covered rural affairs for Spotlight PA through Report for America and public safety at The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina. María Inés Zamudio, Invisible InstituteZamudio is an award-winning journalist investigating racial inequalities and underlying policies. Her coverage of Chicago’s water affordability crisis led to a freeze on water shutoffs and millions of dollars in new assistance programs for low-income homeowners.

Recently, Zamudio helped document for the first time how prolonged exposure to toxins in post-disaster worksites affects the health of workers rebuilding American cities. The reporting exposed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s lax enforcement policy for monitoring post-disaster worksites and documented how the loosely regulated disaster restoration industry often takes advantage of immigrant workers. The investigation was recognized with a Sigma Delta Chi Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award. Zamudio has also helped expand the ranks of investigative journalists of color in Chicago, co-creating the FOIAFest Boot Camp to help train and mentor early reporters working on investigative projects with public records.
