| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | IN 2014, PROPUBLICA STORIES PRODUCED SUCH CHANGE IN A WIDE RANGE OF IMPORTANT AREAS: -IN MARCH, JUST WEEKS AFTER WE BEGAN PUBLISHING STORIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NPR ON THE DYSFUNCTION OF THE PENTAGON'S EFFORTS TO FIND AND IDENTIFY THE BODIES OF MISSING SOLDIERS FROM PAST WARS, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE ANNOUNCED AN OVERHAUL OF THE PROGRAM. WITH AN INTERNAL REPORT CALLING FOR A "PARADIGM SHIFT," THE DEPARTMENT PLEDGED TO MAKE MORE MODERN USE OF DNA, AND TO COMBINE TWO FEUDING AGENCIES INTO ONE. IN JUNE, THE MILITARY DECIDED TO DISINTER THE LIKELY REMAINS OF ARMY PVT. BUD KELDER AND 10 OTHER MEN, WHO DIED WHILE BEING HELD AS POWS IN 1942. IN JULY, A PENTAGON INSPECTOR GENERAL'S DRAFT REPORT WE OBTAINED REPEATED MANY OF THE CRITICISMS IDENTIFIED IN THE PROPUBLICA/NPR STORIES. IN AUGUST, THE OFFICIAL WHO HAD LED THE PROGRAM WAS TOLD HE WOULD LOSE HIS JOB. -NEW RULES FINALIZED IN MAY GIVE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AUTHORITY TO EXPEL PHYSICIANS FROM MEDICARE IF THEY ENGAGE IN ABUSIVE PRESCRIBING. THE NEW RULES ALSO ALLOW THE AGENCY OVERSEEING MEDICARE TO COMPEL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM BEFORE ORDERING DRUGS FOR PATIENTS COVERED BY MEDICARE PART D. BOTH RULE CHANGES FOLLOW REPORTING DONE LAST YEAR BY PROPUBLICA DOCUMENTING REPEATED FAILURES OF MEDICARE OVERSIGHT. -IN DECEMBER, SIX AND A HALF YEARS AFTER A REVELATIONS IN A PROPUBLICA STORY LED TO THE LAST-MINUTE HALTING OF A PROPOSAL TO FREELY ALLOW FRACKING OF NATURAL GAS IN NEW YORK STATE, THE STATE FINALLY CONCLUDED ITS REVIEW OF SUCH DRILLING AND GOV. ANDREW CUOMO ANNOUNCED A BAN ON FRACKING IN NEW YORK. -A NEW LAW, PASSED BY THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE IN LATE AUGUST, IN PART IN RESPONSE TO A PROPUBLICA INVESTIGATION, WOULD HOLD COMPANIES LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE IF TEMP AGENCIES OR SUBCONTRACTORS CHEAT TEMPORARY WORKERS OUT OF PAY OR ENDANGER THEIR SAFETY. IN DECEMBER ILLINOIS REGULATORS MOVED TO REVOKE THE BUSINESS LICENSE OF A CHECK CASHING STORE IDENTIFIED IN OUR REPORTING. -SPARKED IN PART BY PROPUBLICA REPORTING PUBLISHED IN JUNE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NPR, MASSACHUSETTS IN DECEMBER ISSUED NEW RULES PLACING LIMITS ON PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS OR ISOLATION OF STUDENTS. -IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUBLICATION OF AN ARTICLE ON JULY 21 NOTING THAT MANY USERS OF ONLINE SITES WERE BEING TRACKED BY AN EXTREMELY PERSISTENT TECHNIQUE KNOWN AS "CANVAS FINGERPRINTING" PRODUCED BY A FIRM CALLED ADDTHIS, USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY WAS DISCONTINUED BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY BLOG LAWFARE, THE GERMAN DIGITAL MARKETER LEGATUS AND BY YOUPORN. IN AUGUST, THE TOR BROWSER BEGAN DEFAULT BLOCKING OF THE TECHNOLOGY. -ANOTHER NEW LAW IN CALIFORNIA, ENACTED IN THE AFTERMATH OF OUR SERIES LAST YEAR ON LAX OVERSIGHT OF ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES, PERMITS THE STATE TO HALT ADMISSIONS TO FACILITIES THAT FAIL TO CORRECT SERIOUS VIOLATIONS OR PAY FINES. -RULES GOVERNING LOANS TO SERVICE MEMBERS UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT ARE BEING TIGHTENED IN RESPONSE TO REPORTING LAST YEAR BY PROPUBLICA AND PUBLIC RADIO'S MARKETPLACE. THE NEW RULES CLOSE LOOPHOLES IN THE LAW, TIGHTEN REGULATORY CAPS ON INTEREST RATES FOR WHAT AMOUNT TO PAYDAY LOANS AND NO LONGER PERMIT SERVICE MEMBERS FROM HAVING LOAN PAYMENTS FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY DEDUCTED FROM THEIR PAY. -AFTER OUR REPORTING EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEHIND ILLEGAL DOPING BY SPRINTER TYSON GAY AND THE ROLE OF COACH JON DRUMMOND, AN ARBITRATION PANEL IN DECEMBER BANNED DRUMMOND FROM TRACK AND FIELD FOR EIGHT YEARS. -FURTHER REPORTING THIS YEAR, PUBLISHED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WASHINGTON POST, AND FOCUSED ON A COMPANY CALLED USA DISCOUNTERS WHICH LENDS WIDELY TO SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEN FREQUENTLY SUES THEM, SEEMS TO HAVE PROMPTED THAT FIRM TO CHANGE ITS NAME TO USA LIVING AFTER SIX U.S. SENATORS CHALLENGED ITS PRACTICES. TWO OTHER COMPANIES MENTIONED IN THE SAME STORY, SETTLED AN ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING IN DECEMBER WITH THE FEDERAL CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB), PAYING PENALTIES, AND AGREEING TO REFUNDS AND ON LIMITS TO THEIR ABILITY TO SUE THEIR CUSTOMERS. -THE CFPB IS ALSO TARGETING WORLD FINANCE, WHOSE INSTALLMENT LOANS WERE A FOCUS OF PROPUBLICA REPORTING IN 2013, IN AN INVESTIGATION OF WHETHER THE COMPANY'S LOANS AND THEIR MARKETING VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW. WORLD FINANCE DISCLOSED THE INVESTIGATION IN MARCH. -POSSIBLE UNDERPAYMENT OF NATURAL GAS ROYALTIES TO LANDOWNERS BY CHESAPEAKE ENERGY, SPOTLIGHTED IN A 2013 PROPUBLICA REPORT, IS NOW THE SUBJECT OF AN INVESTIGATION BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, CHESAPEAKE DISCLOSED IN NOVEMBER. -THE FDA IN FEBRUARY LAUNCHED A FORMAL REVIEW OF ITS OWN PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO THE REGULATION OF OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS. THE AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWED REPORTING LAST FALL BY PROPUBLICA ON THE DANGERS OF ACETAMINOPHEN, THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN TYLENOL, WHICH WOULD BE AMONG THE DRUGS AFFECTED BY ANY NEW RULES OR PROCEDURES. -IN RESPONSE TO PROPUBLICA REPORTING IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY ON THE NATIONAL QUALITY FORUM, A KEY HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY GROUP, THE QUALITY FORUM STRENGTHENED ITS PROTECTIONS AGAINST CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN RECOMMENDING PATIENT SAFETY MEASURES AND ITS CEO RESIGNED FROM TWO HEALTH CARE COMPANY BOARDS. -TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS AGREED IN MARCH TO PAY MORE THAN $27 MILLION TO SETTLE STATE AND FEDERAL ALLEGATIONS RELATED TO ITS DEALINGS WITH CHICAGO PSYCHIATRIST MICHAEL REINSTEIN, WHOSE PRESCRIBING PATTERNS WERE THE SUBJECT OF PROPUBLICA REPORTING IN 2009 AND AGAIN LAST YEAR. IN AUGUST, THE STATE OF ILLINOIS INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED DR. REINSTEIN'S MEDICAL LICENSE. -IN NOVEMBER, THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION FORCED A FOR-PROFIT CHARTER SCHOOL CHAIN WHOSE PRACTICES WE HAD REPORTED WAS PLACED ON FINANCIAL PROBATIONARY STATUS, FORCING THEM TO DISCLOSE TO REGULATORS THE SALARIES OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT TEST IS RECOGNITION FROM PEERS IN JOURNALISM. PROPUBLICA WAS THE FIRST ONLINE NEWS ORGANIZATION TO WIN A PULITZER PRIZE (2010) AND THE FIRST TO WIN A PULITZER FOR STORIES NOT PUBLISHED IN PRINT (2011). OUR WORK WAS HONORED IN 2014 AS FOLLOWS: PROPUBLICA WAS DEEPLY HONORED IN FEBRUARY TO RECEIVE A MACARTHUR AWARD FOR CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONS FROM THE JOHN D. AND CATHERINE T.
