Mission Statement

Public Integrity seeks to counter the corrosive effects of inequality by holding powerful interests accountable and equipping the public with knowledge to drive change. We are an independent, nonpartisan and nonprofit news organization dedicated to investigating systems and circumstances that contribute to inequality in our country.

About This Cause

Our expertise Our reporters excel at investigating the systems and circumstances that contribute to inequality in labor, housing, health care, education, and access to democracy. We also expose the far-reaching implications of a history of unequal power, by examining disparities in environmental and criminal justice, transportation, technology, and access to financial tools. Our values Depth: We strive to provide a definitive look at the issues we tackle, examining the context and history of inequitable systems and evaluating solutions. Collaboration: We broaden the reach of our investigations by partnering with national and local news organizations, especially in underserved communities. We understand that audiences turn to trusted sources of information in their own communities, beyond journalists, and we work with these influencers to ensure more people have access to our work. Equitable access: We believe access to information is key to equity. Our journalism is free to all. Our work is supported by philanthropy, sponsorships, and individual donations. Tenacity: Whether it’s online harassment, trolling of our journalists or threat of lawsuits aimed at silencing our investigations, we do not bow down to external pressure and will continue to expose inequities that have harmed marginalized communities. A culture of belonging: We acknowledge journalism’s role in upholding inequality and mainstream media’s historical failure to provide fair and accurate coverage about marginalized communities. We pursue diverse voices on our staff and in our stories and strive for greater transparency.
