Enterprise Journalism Projects
ܹ̳ is known for delivering both comprehensive coverage that spans numerous topical areas and enterprise reporting projects that go deep into the specific issues that shape conditions in the nation’s schools today and the opportunities of its students in the years ahead.

These special initiatives—which often combine independent news reporting with research, video and multimedia productions, first-person opinion features, and convenings—are underwritten by programmatic grants from our philanthropic partners. Every project is unique and designed to maximize our impact on the focal issues and audience needs.

Equity Fund: Race & Opportunity
Building on ܹ̳’s long-standing commitment to addressing issues of race, diversity, and equity, we have established a dedicated reporting team or “desk” within our newsroom that is responsible for bringing a bold new vision to our coverage of Race & Opportunity.

The team has developed an ambitious new agenda of reporting, research, and storytelling on race, equity, and the nation’s ongoing struggle to combat systemic racism and broader forms of inequity. To make this vision a reality, we are developing a $1.5 million fund to launch and support this initiative over the next three years.
