r/propublica↗
journalism in the public interest
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.
