Hi Reader,

As the year draws to a close, I want to highlight some of the investigative journalism that support from our readers has made possible. At ProPublica, we’re committed to delivering articles that hold the powerful accountable, uncover hidden truth and drive change. Thanks to readers like you, we’ve been able to tackle the stories that matter most.

Here are three of our most-read investigations from 2024 (see the entire list of top 25 stories here):

The Year After a Denied Abortion: Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. ProPublica followed Mayron Michelle Hollis and her family for a year as they struggled to make it.
A Montana Hospital Let Dr. Thomas Weiner Continue Practicing Despite Concern: Hailed as a savior upon his arrival at St. Peter’s Hospital in downtown Helena, Dr. Thomas C. Weiner became a favorite of patients and the hospital’s highest earner. As the myth surrounding the high-profile oncologist grew, so did the trail of patient harm and suspicious deaths.
Inside the Turbulent, Secret World of the AP3 Militia: Internal messages reveal how AP3, one of the largest U.S. militias, experienced a resurgence even as prosecutors pursued other paramilitary groups after the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.

These stories are a testament to the value of investigative journalism that dives deep and brings vital information to light. Your support ensures that ProPublica remains independent, free from corporate or political influence, and able to pursue the truth wherever it leads.

As we prepare for 2025, your contribution will help us continue to tackle the most pressing stories of our time.

Thank you for being part of our community of readers and supporters. Together, we can keep shining a light on the issues that matter most.

Warmly,

Tova Genesen
