ProPublica’s Emerging Reporters Program supports college students pursuing investigative journalism through mentorships and a $9,000 stipend for the 2025-26 academic year. Participants receive training, attend the NICAR conference, and are mentored by ProPublica journalists to advance their careers in exposing abuses of power. The program selects students showing early dedication to journalism through internships or work at campus publications. This year’s class includes Annabelle Ink from Pomona College, who has experience with political activism reporting and internships at Honolulu Magazine, Civil Beat, and the Claremont Courier. She aims to report on criminal justice and climate change using a gender lens post-graduation.
