Local Journalism Initiative
Since 2019, FRONTLINE has been supporting local and regional news organizations conducting investigative journalism projects in their communities. Our partners in 2022 include newsrooms in Rhode Island, Texas, North and South Carolina. We are contributing editorial, audience development and financial resources to coverage of subjects from child labor and local corruption to the treatment of mental illness in prisons. Read more about our Local Journalism Initiative here, and meet our 2024 partners here.
“Poisoned,” an investigation by our 2020 LJI partners at Tampa Bay Times, won a George Polk Award, a Pulitzer Prize and an NABJ Award.
