Report for Washington, our new partnership with WSU, is our first effort to bolster reporting and eliminate news deserts statewide—by placing a reporter in every county. We’ve been thrilled by the interest and support in the Evergreen State. How about your state? Let’s talk!

[Report for America @Report4America]

Today, in partnership with Washington State University's Murrow College of Communication, we are proud to announce a groundbreaking initiative to fill reporting gaps across Washington state.

This collaboration aims to place 39 reporters in Washington local newsrooms by 2029, such that every county across the state has access to reliable, dedicated local journalism.
