Report for America

🎉 It's #RFADay, our favorite day of the year! This year's class of 78 @Report4America corps members will bring our current, active reporter corps to 200. Together, they will continue our work in strengthening local news in communities across the country.

"These journalists represent hope: a new generation committed to local news reporting that helps people better understand their communities and one another,” said @Report4America's Kim Kleman.

We’re proud to share that Report for America was selected for the 2026 New York Times Campaign for Journalism, our first year being part of this employee-giving program!

From Sept. 22 to Oct. 9, The Times invited its employees to support Report for America and matched their gifts. The Times also made a generous gift of its own in support of our work.

Employees across The Times, including reporters, editors, engineers and other staffers, chose to invest in local journalism in communities across the country, many far from their own. Their support reflects something we believe deeply: strong local news matters to all of us, no matter where we live or what role we play in getting the news to readers.

Thank you to The New York Times and its employees for including us. Learn more about the campaign and sign up to stay connected to our work ⬇️ reportforamerica.org/2026/11/02/rep…

#RFAImpact26: Our 2026 Impact Report featured incredible corps members that are rewriting the story of local accountability.

Meet Ginny Monk, a Report for America alum at The Connecticut Mirror, who worked on an investigative series that prompted Connecticut lawmakers to overhaul the state’s towing laws, creating stronger consumer protections and making it harder for towing companies to take advantage of drivers. It received the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting.
