Program areas at Spotlight Pa
Spotlight Pa is an independent, nonpartisan newsroom dedicated to high-quality investigative and public-service journalism about the Pennsylvania state government and urgent statewide issues, including elections, voting, the governor, the legislature, rural communities, criminal justice, economic development, health, human services, and more. Spotlight Pa was founded to address a crisis in journalism in Pennsylvania: the ongoing and rapid decline of corporate-owned legacy news outlets, which is greatly diminishing access to trusted, contextual, and factual reporting across the state. Spotlight Pa is uncovering stories that would otherwise go untold and cutting through partisanship and misinformation to deliver trusted, reliable journalism at no cost to all in Pennsylvania. We make our journalism available at no cost via spotlightpa.org, several email newsletters, virtual events, and via nearly 100 community news partners, including newspapers, public radio, and digital outlets in Pennsylvania.
