Pro Publica, the philanthropic journalism project with the subtitle “Journalism in the public interest”, have recruited people and launched their website (tip: Media Storm blog). So we wait for their first stories:
Soon, the Web site will also feature our own investigations, some of them in short-form, some much more ambitious. Our longer “deep dive” stories will most often be published in cooperation with one or more partners. These stories will usually debut on our partners’ sites, but we’ll link to their treatment of the stories, and often supplement them with additional materials for the web.
UPDATE June 25: Pro Publica’s first story is about the US government’s investment in the Arab language TV and radio station Alhurra. A joint production with CBS 60 Minutes.
