}} ProPublica is a non-profit corporation based in New York City. It describes itself as an independent non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】About Us ) ''ProPublica'' is a Dog Latin term literally meaning "for the public woman"; cf. publica.〕 In 2010 it became the first online news source to win a Pulitzer Prize, for a piece〔"a story that chronicles the urgent life-and-death decisions made by one hospital’s exhausted doctors when they were cut off by the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina." - Pulitzer.org (The 2010 Pulitzer Prize Winners: Investigative Reporting ), accessed 13 April 2010〕 written by one of its journalists〔''The Guardian'', 13 April 2010, (Pulitzer progress for non-profit news )〕〔ProPublica, (Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Reporting: Deadly Choices at Memorial )〕 and published in ''The New York Times Magazine''〔Sheri Fink, ''New York Times Magazine'', 25 August 2009, (THE DEADLY CHOICES AT MEMORIAL )〕 as well as on ProPublica.org.〔ProPublica, 27 August 2009, (The Deadly Choices at Memorial )〕 ProPublica's investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters and the resulting stories are given away to news 'partners' for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and the news partners work together on a story. ProPublica has partnered with more than 90 different news organizations. On August 5, 2015, Yelp announced a partnership with the company to help improve their healthcare statistics.〔http://officialblog.yelp.com/2015/08/yelps-consumer-protection-initiative-propublica-partnership-brings-medical-info-to-yelp.html〕 == History == ProPublica was the brainchild of billionaires and major Democratic donors Herbert and Marion Sandler, the former chief executives of the Golden West Financial Corporation, who have committed $10 million a year to the project. The Sandlers hired Paul Steiger, former managing editor of the ''Wall Street Journal'', to create and run the organization as editor in chief. At the time ProPublica was set up, Steiger responded to concerns about the role of the Sandlers' political views, saying on ''The Newshour with Jim Lehrer'': ProPublica had an initial news staff of 28 reporters and editors, including Pulitzer Prize winners Charles Ornstein, Tracy Weber, Jeff Gerth, and Marcus Stern, but has since grown to 34 full-time working journalists. Steiger claimed that he received as many as 850 applications upon ProPublica's start. The organization also appointed a 12-member journalism advisory board consisting of professional journalists.
