Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

EHRP SUPPORTS INDEPENDENT JOURNALISTS TO CREATE HIGH QUALITY STORIES ABOUT ECONOMIC INEQUITY. WE THEN PLACE THOSE STORIES IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA, MOBILIZING READERS TO FIGHT SYSTEMS PERPETUATING ECONOMIC INJUSTICE.

  • The Economic Hardship Reporting Project (EHRP) is a beacon, an outlet, and a support system for independent journalists who have been laid off or painfully underpaid. Our compelling stories illustrate the systems of power that lead to economic inequality, changing the narrative that those at the bottom are to blame for their own struggles. While layoffs and downsizing are hitting lower-income journalists and journalists of color, EHRPs grassroots approach ensures that marginalized voices are included in mainstream media outlets. In 2022, EHRP co-published more than 100 pieces appearing in outlets from The New York Times to PBS to Mother Jones. These stories were also re-printed or syndicated nearly 700 times, reaching millions of readers, and covered a wide range of media, including print, television, radio, photography, and documentary films.An EHRP-supported investigation in USA Today that revealed how one nursing home chains residents died of Covid at a far higher rate than those in other facilities influenced the Biden administrations planned reform of federal rules on such care. An administration official recently said that the story had some moving and heart-wrenching things with staff at their wits end because they were so shorthanded.Our ongoing series about the lack of tenant protections in Utah revealed how the states Department of Workforce Services was taking federal emergency funds meant for eviction legal aid and instead paying landlords attorneys for the fees involved in evicting people. Following our report, the U.S. Treasury Department has cracked down on that practice and is no longer allowing Utahor any other stateto do that.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
