Floodlight Inc

Floodlight is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit newsroom that investigates the powers stalling climate action.

Floodlight launched in 2021 as the only nonprofit newsroom in the United States dedicated solely to holding climate polluters accountable. Our seven-person newsroom partners with local and national outlets to reach millions of people. Floodlight stories have garnered millions of views, and our reporting has spanned the nation, with local and national partners including The Guardian, NPR, Mother Jones, Grist, Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel, Texas Tribune, Louisiana Illuminator and more.

For some stories, we work hand-in-hand with staff at other news outlets to report, edit and publish together. For others, we produce the work ourselves and provide it for free for any news outlet to republish. This model ensures our stories reach a dual audience: the communities most affected on the ground and a nationwide readership that forces companies, investors and policymakers to take note.
