ProPublica Revamps Its Site, Teaches You How To Pronounce “ProPublica”

ProPublica has unveiled a redesign of its website, complete with easy-to-navigate context for their ongoing investigative reports, improved search capabilities, and a new FAQ section which includes a helpful guide to pronouncing ProPublica. (Turns out: “Dimple.”)

The site, the result of much greasy elbowage on the part of ProPublica’s editor of news application Scott Klein and the ProPublic web team, also comes with a new tag for the ProPublica blog: “Muck It.”

In the words of ProPublica’s director of communications, Mike Webb: “Seriously, it’s better.”

Adds Klein:

With this redesign, we’ve tried to take everything we’ve learned, and everything we’ve added, and put it together into one nice, clean site. Our hope is that the level of design sophistication now matches the sophistication of our reporting.
