The Communications Associate will develop and execute PR campaigns for investigative journalism and manage relationships with various media outlets. They will also handle inbound media requests, prepare staff for interviews, and draft press releases to support organizational goals.
Journalists submit ambitious accountability story proposals that align with ProPublica's mission, focusing on investigations that are revelatory or substantially advance known information on important subjects. Proposals must include a clear hypothesis, details on gathered anecdotes/data/documents, expected findings, potential accountability stories, and required resources like data work, travel, and public records.
Fellows will produce investigative journalism projects in partnership with ProPublica. They will receive support and guidance from ProPublica while working from their home newsrooms.
