The Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica spent two years investigating sexual violence in Alaska and why the situation isn’t getting better. The reporting documented systemic problems across the state, along with potential solutions. The project was driven by Alaskans who shared their own experiences, and reporting that documented how deep and systematic the problems were. The series was awarded the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for public service along with a number of other national and regional honors.

A related collaborative series, "Unheard," was published in 2020, giving voice to survivors of sexual violence in Alaska. It was a collaboration not only between the Daily News and ProPublica, but with the many people who reached out to share their own experiences. It featured portraits and stories of 29 Alaskans who chose to talk about their experiences, in part to de-stigmatize being a sexual assault survivor. The project was honored with a 2021 National Magazine Award for community journalism and the Dart Award for Excellence in Coverage of Trauma, among others.
