The Examination is an independent donor-funded news organization founded with the understanding that information is a public health necessity, and that there is a critical deficit in information about preventable health crises responsible for more than a third of global deaths, and unimaginable human suffering. Our team of award-winning journalists is on a mission to help bridge the knowledge gap, delivering powerful, fact-driven reporting that demands positive change. We believe our reporting can play a vital role in improving lives — and even saving them. Each year, tens of millions of people get sick, or die, from maladies linked to toxic products, poor nutrition, pollution and other health hazards. These often-ignored health disasters are concentrated in poor and marginalized communities that can least bear the cost. Our reporting seeks to define, describe and even begin to close this health equity gap, through fact-driven, independent journalism that exposes those most responsible — and amplifies the voices of those most harmed. We cover big tobacco, big food, polluting industries and more.
