Impact Stories

Helping on even one legal matter can make the difference between an important story being published or never seeing the light of day, between the public learning of societal problems, or being left in the dark.

The lawyers have been so supportive and helpful!

[The lawyers] have helped me feel confident as we move forward with publication. I can’t tell you how important the contributions of ProJourn have been to my process (…) Thank you again for your critical help and support with my project!”

– Angela Hume, author (California)

Our newsroom has always been ambitious, but this kind of deep investigative work is a first for us.”

– Florangela Davila, KNKX (Washington)

As we reflect on our work in 2023, I am so grateful for all the help that made it possible, especially by ProJourn and McGuire Woods.

We are so lucky to have this kind of assistance in NC. (…) We could not have done this project without it. We were able not only to publish our series, but we have started a collaboration statewide on this topic, and we are working with a CA reporter on a national story about this with NPR. “

– Laura Lee, Blue Ridge Public Radio (North Carolina)

We are so indebted to the team who worked on this series with us. 

They were absolutely devoted to this multi-part investigation, and with us on all the details, small and large.”

– Naomi Starkman, Civil Eats (California)

It was great working with ProJourn and the lawyer it linked us up with, 

and it allowed us to do accountability journalism involving a large and powerful company. We appreciate it, and so do our readers!” 

– Tony Mecia, Charlotte Ledger (North Carolina)
