Report for America is a national service program that places talented journalists — corps members — into local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities.

Report for America has:

• Placed close to 700 reporters into nearly 400 newsrooms in all 50 states to help report on under-covered topics and communities
• Invested more than $20 million in direct salary support to newsrooms through our innovative cost-sharing service model (and millions more in training and support)
• We matched this investment with an additional $30 million in local donations we helped newsrooms raise.
• Report for America has become one of the nation’s most diverse pipelines of journalists, with nearly half of our corps members identifying as journalists of color; and two-thirds as women.

If selected to the program, newsrooms will:

• Gain access to a great local reporter who is passionate about the beat the newsroom designated a need for coverage   
• Receive financial support expanding your coverage by paying half of the salary of the reporter for the first year and 33% of the salary the second year
• Connect with our Local News Sustainability Team to help newsrooms raise money from the local community
