Summary Free Expression & Accountability Champions
ProPublica's landing page presents an independent, non-profit newsroom explicitly dedicated to 'investigative journalism in the public interest.' The site demonstrates strong positive alignment with human rights principles through both editorial mission (Articles 19, 28) and structural design (open access, accessibility features, non-profit independence). The organization operationalizes freedom of expression and information rights through institutional independence, transparent mission commitment, and removal of economic/technical barriers to content access.
