| Desc | PROPUBLICA PUBLISHES STORIES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SPUR REFORM AND CHANGE LIVES. OUR WORK IN 2022 WAS STRIKING IN ITS SCOPE, FROM GROUNDBREAKING WORK THAT REVEALED THE ALGORITHMS THAT MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO SPIKING RENTAL PRICES TO A PROJECT THAT RECOUNTED THE LEGACY OF THE NIGHT RAIDS CARRIED OUT BY CIA-BACKED ZERO UNITS, WHICH KILLED COUNTLESS CIVILIANS IN AFGHANISTAN. [SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O]IN 2022, OUR NEWSROOM ALSO RAMPED UP EFFORTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FIELD OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ITSELF, ANNOUNCING AN EXPANSION OF OUR TRAINING PROGRAMS, BLAZING NEW TRAILS IN DATA JOURNALISM AND PARTNERING WITH OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE OUR FINDINGS REACH THE COMMUNITIES MOST AFFECTED BY THE INJUSTICES WE DISCOVER. BUT OUR MOST IMPORTANT GOAL IS PRODUCING WORK THAT HAS AN IMPACT. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED:PROPUBLICA AND THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE REVEALED THAT SCHOOLS AND POLICE WERE FUNNELING STUDENTS INTO A TICKETING SYSTEM THAT ISSUED STEEP FINES FOR MINOR INFRACTIONS SUCH AS LITTERING OR SWEARING. THE REPORTERS BUILT A FIRST-OF-ITS KIND DATABASE OF RECORDS FROM MORE THAN 500 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, SEVERAL SCHOOLS DROPPED OR REEVALUATED THESE POLICIES.A STORY REPORTED WITH THE TEXAS TRIBUNE FOUND THAT U.S. ARMY SOLDIERS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ARE LESS THAN HALF AS LIKELY TO BE DETAINED WHILE AWAITING TRIAL THAN THOSE ACCUSED OF OFFENSES LIKE DRUG USE OR DISOBEYING AN OFFICER. FOLLOWING THE STORY, THE ARMY SAID ITS RULES ARE "CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION."A GRIPPING NARRATIVE PUBLISHED BY PROPUBLICA AND THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL TOLD THE STORY OF A DEADLY FIRE IN THE HOME OF A SINGLE MOTHER AND HER FOUR CHILDREN, ILLUMINATING TWO SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE: ONE FOR WEALTHY PROPERTY OWNERS, AND ANOTHER FOR IMPOVERISHED RENTERS.PROPUBLICA, THE INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS AND MORE THAN 50 INTERNATIONAL MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS REVEALED ABUSES IN THE UNREGULATED HONORARY CONSUL PROGRAM THAT LETS PRIVATE CITIZENS WORK FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRIES TO REPRESENT FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. THE TEAM BUILT THE FIRST-EVER GLOBAL DATABASE OF HUNDREDS OF CRIMINAL OR CONTROVERSIAL HONORARY CONSULS. SINCE THE STORY PUBLISHED, AUTHORITIES IN FINLAND, BRAZIL, PARAGUAY, GERMANY AND OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE LAUNCHED INVESTIGATIONS AND PROPOSED REFORMS TO THE HONORARY CONSUL SYSTEM. | Desc |

| Explanation | A) EMERGENCY REPORTER AND DIVERSITY STIPENDS TO INDIVIDUALS: STIPEND PAYMENTS REPRESENT A FORM OF GRANT ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS IN VARIOUS PROPUBLICA OUTREACH PROGRAMS. PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAMS ARE SELECTED VIA COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS IN WHICH THE APPLICANTS ARE CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR QUALIFICATIONS AND CAREER PROSPECTS IN THE FIELD OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. FUNDING IS OFTEN PROVIDED AS A PART OF A GRANT RECEIVED BY PROPUBLICA. IN SUCH INSTANCES, THE GRANT REQUIREMENTS DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING AVAILABLE AND MAY INFORM THE STIPEND PAYMENT PROCESS. IF THE FUNDING IS PROVIDED THROUGH PROPUBLICA'S GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET, FUNDING AVAILABILITY IS DETERMINED BASED ON OVERALL BUDGETARY CONCERNS. BASED ON THESE PARAMETERS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS DETERMINE WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS APPLY: - ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE EQUAL STIPEND AMOUNTS. - ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE SOME STIPEND, WITH THE AWARD AMOUNT VARYING BASED ON DETERMINATION OF NEED. - SOME PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE STIPENDS, WITH THE AWARD AMOUNT VARYING BASED ON DETERMINATION OF NEED. IN THIS INSTANCE, APPLICANTS MUST APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE AS A SEPARATE PROCEDURE FROM THE GENERAL APPLICATION PROCESS AND ARE NOTIFIED THE AMOUNT OF THE TOTAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE BASED ON GRANT FUNDS AVAILABLE. APPLICATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE REQUIRE APPLICANTS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING: - EXPLICITLY ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. - PROVIDE THE AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING BASED ON PRE-DETERMINED FUND AVAILABILITY. - EXPLAIN HOW THE FUNDING WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO ATTEND THE PROGRAM WHEN THEY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. IF THE CASE IS COMPELLING, THE REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IS GRANTED UP TO THE LIMITS OF THE FUNDS AVAILABLE. IF THE EXPLANATION OF NEED INCLUDES THE COST OF EXPENSES THAT ARE ALREADY COVERED FOR ALL ATTENDEES, THE AMOUNT OF THE GRANT MAY BE REDUCED ACCORDINGLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PARTICULAR PROGRAM COVERS THE COST OF LODGING AND TRAVEL FOR ALL ATTENDEES AND LODGING/TRAVEL ARE INCLUDED IN THE EXPLANATION OF NEED, THE AMOUNT AWARDED MAY BE REDUCED. WHEN FUNDING IS PROVIDED VIA PASS-THROUGH GRANTS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, MONITORING OF FUND USAGE AND FOLLOW-UP ARE BASED UPON ONGOING VERBAL AND WRITTEN DIALOGUE, GRANT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, AND WRITTEN GRANT REPORTS PROVIDED TO GRANTING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE END OF THE GRANT PERIOD. WHEN FUNDING IS PROVIDED THROUGH GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET DESIGNATION, PROPUBLICA MAINTAINS RECORDS OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING AND BENEFITTING FROM GRANT FUNDS, INCLUDING COMPLETED W-9 FORMS. AS THESE GRANTS ARE NEED-BASED, SUCH FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE. B) LOCAL REPORTING NETWORK GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS: PROPUBLICA PROVIDED REGRANT FUNDING TO ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL REPORTING INITIATIVES, INCLUDING LOCAL REPORTING NETWORK AND ELECTIONLAND. THROUGH THESE INITIATIVES, PROPUBLICA PARTNERS WITH LOCAL NEWSROOMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A REPORTER TO WORK ON AN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. MOST OFTEN, THE GRANTEE IS THE NEWSROOM ORGANIZATION ITSELF; HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY, FUNDING MAY BE PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO A REPORTER WITH AN AFFILIATION TO THE SELECTED NEWSROOM. NEWSROOMS ARE SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE INITIATIVES VIA A COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND IN ADDITION TO FUNDING, PARTNERS RECEIVE ACCESS TO PROPUBLICA RESOURCES INCLUDING EDITORS, TRAINING SESSIONS, AND CO-PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES. LOCAL GRANT AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON EACH REPORTER'S ANNUAL SALARY AND A STANDARD BENEFITS PERCENT ALLOCATION, WHICH WAS 23% FOR GRANTS ORIGINATING IN 2022, AND AMOUNTS ARE AGREED TO IN WRITING BY BOTH THE PARTICIPATING NEWSROOM AND PROPUBLICA. FUND USAGE IS MONITORED BY THE PROPUBLICA EDITORS WHO OVERSEE THE PROGRAMS AND WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE REPORTERS AND NEWSROOMS. ULTIMATELY, LOCAL GRANTEE REPORTERS ARE EXPECTED TO PUBLISH A FULL-LENGTH INVESTIGATIVE PIECE IN COORDINATION WITH PROPUBLICA. ALSO, PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN ACCOUNTING FOR FUNDS USAGE AT THE END OF THE GRANT PERIOD, WHICH MOST OFTEN INCLUDES A COPY OF THE FUNDED REPORTER'S W2 FOR THE FUNDED GRANT YEAR. | ExplanationTxt |
