The Frontier is joining forces with ProPublica for a year-long journalism project

It's safe to say 2019 has been a good year for us.
Today we announced that our newsroom and reporter Brianna Bailey were selected as one of six newsrooms across the country to join ProPublica's Local Reporting Network.
The selection is more than just an honor — Bailey will begin on July 1 and will spend the following 12 months working on a project related to health care in Oklahoma. ProPublica is funding her reporting in its entirety, as well as co-publishing her resulting stories and working with her and The Frontier on photos, videos, audio and graphics for the project.
And that's just the latest bit of good news.
In January we announced that we were sharing our content for free with a group of community newspapers across the state. The move has allowed our journalism to have more reach and impact than ever before.
In March, reporter Kassie McClung received a grant that allowed her to travel to California for NICAR, The National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting, where she was able to study and learn from the best data journalists in the country.
Earlier this month reporter Clifton Adcock traveled to Rhode Island as a Metcalf Institute Fellow for their annual Science Immersion Workshop. Thanks to a grant, Adcock was able to attend the workshop, which provides professional journalists with hands-on experience in field and laboratory science with expertise from leading scientists and policymakers who are working to project the impacts of global change, identify adaptation measures, and investigate the most effective ways to communicate these challenges.
Thanks to a fundraising campaign that wrapped up earlier this year, The Frontier will be sending its entire staff to IRE, the Investigative Reporters and Editors Conference, in Houston next week. IRE is the best investigative reporting conference in the nation, and our reporters look forward to attending and coming home with dozens of new story ideas and ways to advance our journalism.
