The Salt Lake Tribune has been selected to join ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network, a partnership with newsrooms that has produced award-winning investigative journalism since its launch in 2018.
Reporter Jessica Miller, a member of The Tribune team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for reporting on campus sexual assault, will further investigate abuse with the ProPublica initiative, with a focus on health care settings.
Miller is a two-time Livingston Award finalist, for investigating mistreatment in Utah’s booming “troubled teen” industry and a data-driven series on Utahns shot by police while experiencing a mental health crisis. She was also a co-host and reporter for “Sent Away” — an award-winning investigative podcast from the Tribune, KUER and APM Reports — which exposes Utah’s failure to keep vulnerable young people safe in teen treatment programs.
The Tribune is one of five new partner newsrooms that will begin investigations Nov. 1 with ProPublica, an independent, nonprofit newsroom.
The other reporters are Becca Savransky of the Idaho Statesman, Robin Urevich of Capital & Main, Rose Lundy of The Maine Monitor and Brandi Kellam of the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO.
