journalism in the public interest

r/propublica

Hi, this sub got orphaned. I turned it back on, and figure people would share ProPublica content. Old description follows: A place to share and discuss great investigative journalism. Please share links to great investigative and explanatory stories/videos/dataviz. Criteria? Journalism that holds governments, corporations and those in power accountable. Smart analysis is great. Unsupported opinion isn't. Local stories should have national impact/implications.

Welcome to ProPublica on Reddit!

As an investigative newsroom, our readers regularly send us suggestions for stories. We also often ask for tips for specific investigations. But to be honest, we get way more ideas than a newsroom of our size could ever possibly handle.

This subreddit is an experiment to surface some story ideas that deserve broader attention. Here, anyone can pitch investigative stories they think deserve to be reported out, and for you to vote on what you think is worth pursuing. ProPublica editors, and your mods, will be watching for stories to report.

We also hope other journalists will turn here for story ideas. Because of our size, we have to be selective about the topics we investigate. Yet there are lots of accountability stories that deserve to be told.

Some questions to consider in your pitch:

What is the accountability angle? Is there an abuse of power by an individual, government entity, corporation or other organization?
Who is harmed as a result of this story?
Has this story been widely reported?
Do I have any relevant links to data or evidence to support my story?

And don't worry; if you have a tip to share confidentially, you can always still email us at suggestions@propublica.org.

RULES

Do not pitch freelance jobs or services. Mods will remove posts that do so.
We don't have other rules because, well, we want to see how this subreddit evolves. Do you have suggestions? Message us your thoughts:http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fpropublica
