ProPublica | A Journalist's Guide for Investigating Toxic Hot Spots @ProPublica | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
In November, 2022, ProPublica published a groundbreaking map that showed the spread of cancer-causing air pollution from industrial facilities into nearby neighborhoods.

In this hour-long webinar, ProPublica reporters showed how local journalists use this new tool to illuminate the risks their communities face and to hold government and industrial facilities accountable for pollution problems. Our reporters explained how to use the map to uncover air pollution problems, decipher what the data means and tell these stories locally.
