The Hechinger Report

The Hechinger Report is an independent nonprofit newsroom that focuses on inequality and innovation in education. It uses investigative journalism and data-driven reporting to address systemic challenges in education from preschool through higher education. Founded by Fred M. Hechinger, a former *New York Times* education editor, the organization emphasizes solutions-oriented reporting to influence policy and public discourse. The Hechinger Report produces in-depth articles, documentaries, and interactive tools that explore various educational issues, including the impact of climate change on schools and achievement gaps. It collaborates with major news outlets like *The Washington Post* and *NPR* to ensure broad accessibility of its stories. Additionally, it offers Spanish-language reporting through *Hechinger en Español* to engage diverse audiences. The organization is funded by foundations and individual donors, which supports its editorial independence and commitment to highlighting both problems and solutions in education.
