ProPublica announced on Wednesday the selection of two engagement reporting interns through its partnership with the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting, an organization dedicated to increasing the number of reporters and editors of color in investigative journalism. The selected interns, both Ida B. Wells Society members, will work with ProPublica’s engagement team to crowdsource stories for investigative projects. The role will involve community research, managing a callout, sifting through incoming tips and leading an outreach campaign, among other responsibilities.
