ProPublica<\/p>\n
ProPublica is an independent,non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with \u201cmoral force.\u201d We do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.<\/p>\n
ProPublica was founded by Paul Steiger, the former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. It is now led by Stephen Engelberg, a former managing editor of The Oregonian and former investigative editor of The New York Times, and Richard Tofel, the former assistant publisher of The Wall Street Journal. ProPublica is headquartered in Manhattan. Operations commenced in January 2008.<\/p>\n

Are you a college student of color interested in doing great journalism? ProPublica wants to help. We are a nonprofit investigative newsroom and we\u2019re offering stipends to five minority students who work or want to work at college journalism outlets \u2013 newspapers, websites, radio stations or TV stations. We want to make college journalism accessible to students for whom it would otherwise be economically out of reach. Students can apply for the stipends annually. Those selected will receive $4,500 per semester.<\/p>\n
Each student in our Emerging Reporters Program will also receive ongoing mentoring from ProPublica\u2019s reporters and editors. We\u2019ll also bring you to our newsroom in New York for a week.<\/p>\n
ProPublica\u2019s mission is to shine a light on abuses of power, producing stories of moral force that provoke change. There are currently few minority reporters who specialize in investigations. Without more such voices, visions and points of view, there is every reason to believe that important stories are being overlooked.<\/p>\n
