Overview
ProPublica's Sustainability Desk launched in January 2025 to allow them to work with former Local Reporting Network partners on new ideas or on continuations of earlier projects. This is a flexible partnership — reporters work at their own pace, and ProPublica contributes to the news organization for expenses (but not a full salary reimbursement) and continues to provide an editor plus a range of support including data, research, engagement and visuals help.
Reward
ProPublica will reimburse the news organization for the salary of the selected reporter (up to $80,000 plus a benefits stipend). These will be selected on a rolling basis, with spring, summer and fall cohorts of five projects each.
Eligibility
Open to US based media professionals.
Application Requirements
Online application.
