Friend ―

Investigative journalism ― the kind ProPublica is known for ― becomes rarer with each passing year. Expensive and time consuming, it’s often the first thing cut from a newsroom budget, but it’s more important than ever. 

When we set our sights on an investigation, we don’t quit ― check out our list of major investigations ([link removed]) and you’ll often find lots of stories and follow ups. A couple of recent favorites for you to start with:
 
Lost Mothers ([link removed]) : The US has the worst rate of maternal mortality in the developed world and 60% of these deaths are preventable. This tragic series looks at why we’ve fallen so far behind, what mothers can do, what healthcare providers can do, and more. We promise you’ll want to share these stories with everyone you know. 

Machine Bias ([link removed]) : Investigating algorithmic injustice and the formulas that influence our lives. These stories explore the hidden power of computer-generated algorithms across society from criminal sentencing to auto insurance premiums and more, showing how the scales can be tipped in ways that are sometimes unfair or even racist. 

ProPublica investigations can take months or years to report, and our journalists file many stories along the way. Deep dives like these are critical to understanding large and complex issues. Investigative journalism is essential to holding power to account ― that’s why ProPublica exists and we’re glad you’re here to read these investigations. 

Thanks,
