Non-Partisan
Our reporters cover policy outcomes, not political sides. No editorial endorsements. No opinion section. Reporting you can share with any stakeholder.
Statehouse-Embedded

Frequently asked questions

Which states does State Affairs cover?

State Affairs covers all 50 states through a combination of dedicated statehouse newsrooms and our national reporting team. We currently operate full newsrooms in Arizona, California, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin — with coverage of every other state through Pluribus, our national policy publication.

How is State Affairs different from other state policy news?

We combine original statehouse journalism with an AI-powered intelligence platform. Our reporters are physically embedded in state capitols, building source relationships and covering hearings firsthand. This reporting then feeds into our platform, giving subscribers both the news and the tools to act on it.

Is State Affairs nonpartisan?

Yes. Nonpartisan, independent journalism is the foundation of everything we do. Our editorial operation is fully independent from our business and technology teams. We report facts, not sides.

How do I access State Affairs content?

Individual subscribers receive daily newsletters and full access to our publication websites. Enterprise and platform subscribers also get access to our AI-powered legislative intelligence tools, real-time alerts, hearing transcripts, and more.
