You may have noticed that things are a little different when visiting the ProPublica website recently or discovering our work on other platforms, such as Apple News Or Instagram. We’ve updated our logo and fonts, and improved the design and functionality of our homepage and how we present our work. We wanted to take a moment to explain what’s changed and why.
The biggest changes you’ll notice on our home page are structural. Many of our surveys come with supporting documentation, including visual explanations, details about our methodology, or ways to send us tips. Our new design allows us to package these pieces together, so it’s easier for you to find the complete picture. We’re also featuring more of our best investigations from the archives so readers have the chance to discover stories they may have missed.
We’ve also improved the presentation of articles, including more details about our journalists and partners, as well as their photos and how to contact them securely if you want to contribute to our journalism. Many of our articles are available in other languages or can be listened to with audio narration. These options are now more visible, but we’re also working to stay focused on what matters most: our reporting and visual storytelling.
ProPublica’s logo and fonts are also new. We think they’re bolder and cleaner, while still maintaining a connection to the classicism of our name, and that we do a better job browsing the many screens where you can find our work. Our previous visual identity was built for a different time, it was launched before mobile phones and social media were ubiquitous, and it needed to be updated.
What hasn’t changed: our commitment to investigative reporting in the public interest, our independence and the rigor we bring to each report.
Further changes will be rolled out over the coming months. We hope you like what you see and, as always, if you have any ideas, we want to hear them. Please send an email [emailprotected] if you notice any bugs or have any suggestions on what else we can do.
Many thanks to those who contributed to the design of this work, including our partners at Gretel and many of our colleagues here, especially our design team, led by Allen Tan with Sophie Greenspan and Jeff Frankl.
