NICAR, ProPublica partner to sell data to non-members

ProPublica recently relaunched its data store. As part of the relaunch, ProPublica also announced a partnership with IRE to manage sales of data sets maintained by the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR), a program of IRE and the Missouri School of Journalism. ProPublica will begin marketing five of IRE’s most popular data sets to its broad range of commercial, academic and journalism customers. IRE members will still be able to access all data at the member rate through the IRE and NICAR data store. 

Data sets available to non-members in the ProPublica store include:

• Small Business Loans (SBA 7a)
• Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
• National Inventory of Dams
• National Bridge Inventory
• FBI Uniform Crime Reports

ProPublica will also work with IRE/NICAR to provide custom analysis to premium data customers. NICAR will still offer custom data analysis services to IRE members and news organizations.
