Dear Reader,
It’s Sunshine Week — the perfect time to talk about why transparency matters. Public records and open government aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the foundation of accountability.
At PublicSource, we dig into the details that shape our communities and break down policies that impact daily life.
Here’s a look at some of our reporting that cuts through the noise and brings critical information to light:
-
Feb. 11, 2025: Is Allegheny County’s ‘500-in-500’ push hitting its marks for housing people?
-
Dec. 19, 2024: One year later, most Innamorato transparency pledges are still “under consideration.”
-
March 4, 2024: How Pittsburgh-based EQT’s expansion in West Virginia set four families reeling, while state regulators trusted the company to answer their complaints.
-
Feb. 14, 2024: The option of in-person attendance returns after PublicSource seeks access to meetings of public bodies that have remained in virtual-only mode.
- Aug. 8, 2023: Inside the PA Department of Environmental Protection’s monitoring of the Shell petrochemical complex in Beaver County.
Today also marks the beginning of our spring fundraising campaign. We’ve set a goal of raising $7,000 by March 31, and we’re counting on readers like you to help us make more stories like this possible.
Show that you value the public’s right to know by making a donation to our nonprofit newsroom today.
