Reporting from the headwaters to the delta
The Mississippi River Basin is the nation’s largest watershed. It drains nearly half of the continental United States before flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. Millions of people rely on the river system for drinking water, commerce and recreation.
Our journalism recognizes that we all live downstream. We find the issues that connect us and help local newsrooms cover agriculture and the environment. We partner with Report for America and local newsrooms to put full-time reporters on the beat, and we share our stories for all newsrooms to republish for free.
By working together, we produce stronger journalism that reaches more communities across the region.
