States Newsroom is a nonprofit news network with newsrooms or a partner news organization in all 50 U.S. states.[2][3][4][5]

States Newsroom grew out of NC Policy Watch, a progressive think tank in North Carolina founded in 2004 by Chris Fitzsimon, who is States Newsroom's president.[6][7] At the end of 2017, the project expanded, using the liberal group the Hopewell Fund as an incubator until November 2019 when States Newsroom became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit.[8][9][10][3][11] States Newsroom's commentary and opinion pieces are clearly-labeled and generally lean left[9][4] along with many of its larger donors, though it has received some support from nonpartisan and right-leaning groups.[3]

States Newsroom runs Stateline, a website that covers nonpartisan trends on state policy. States Newsroom has partnerships with outlets including the Texas Tribune, CalMatters, Honolulu Civil Beat, and Mississippi Today.

States Newsroom received criticism from groups outlets including NewsGuard, OpenSecrets and Governing after its launch for not being transparent about its funders. In August 2020, the organization began to disclose its major donors. In 2024, Nieman Lab and Columbia Journalism Review have defended States Newsroom against these criticisms.

Organization

States Newsroom provides funding, human resources and digital support to journalists in the state newsrooms.[12] It typically has 4-6 journalists per newsroom.[3] Opinion pieces, which lean left, are clearly labeled.[3] The organization does not allow opinion pieces from candidates or political officeholders.[3][9] States Newsroom allows its articles to be republished for free under a creative commons license.[12][3][4]

States Newsroom accepts no corporate donations and has publicly shares the names of all donors contributing $1,000 or more since becoming a 501(c)3 in 2019.[3][13][14] The progressive Wyss Foundation gave $1 million to States Newsroom in 2020.[15]

In December 2021, States Newsroom announced plans to nearly double its presence from 25 states to 40 states.[4] The organization reported raising $10 million in 2020. States Newsroom had anticipated revenue of more than $27 million by the end of 2021. In October 2022, the New York Times reported States Newsroom having a presence in 29 states.[5]

In 2023, the Pew Charitable Trusts transferred its Stateline news service that covers state policy trends around the U.S. to States Newsroom with $3 million to help with the transition.[9]

As of 2024, it reported having 220 full-time employees, with an annual budget of more than $22 million.[3] It grew from five affiliates upon its 2019 launch to 39 freestanding newsrooms at 11 partner outlets covering all 50 states by early 2024.[3]

Stateline

Stateline provides nonpartisan reporting on trends in state policy.[9]

Alabama Reflector

In May 2024, editor Brian Lyman of States Newsroom's outlet in Alabama, the Alabama Reflector, was selected as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary.[74][75][76][77] Lyman was recognized "[f]or brave, clear and pointed columns that challenge ever-more-repressive state policies flouting democratic norms and targeting vulnerable populations, written with the command and authority of a veteran political observer."[78][74]

Iowa Capital Dispatch

Iowa Capital Dispatch was the first to report a lawsuit against a local Tyson pork-processing plant for work conditions during COVID-19.[34][79]

Missouri Independent

At a November 2020 press conference, Missouri Governor Mike Parson refused to take a question from a Missouri Independent reporter, saying "I am not going to respond to a c4 (nonprofit) out of Virginia that is absolutely a propaganda news agency." According to Politifact, the Missouri Independent is a legitimate news organization and "not a website peddling hoaxes".[80]

Partnerships

The 11 nonprofit news organizations that partner with States Newsroom include CalMatters,[3] Capitol News Illinois,[81] CommonWealth Beacon,[82] CT Mirror,[83] Honolulu Civil Beat,[3] Mississippi Today,[84] New York Focus,[85] Spotlight Delaware,[3] The Texas Tribune,[3] The Vermont Digger,[9] and WyoFile.[86]

ProPublica and the New York Times have collaborated with States Newsroom, according to a spokesperson.[13] The New York Times local investigations fellowship selected States Reporter Shalina Chatlini of New Orleans to its 2023 inaugural class.[87] ProPublica selected Jacob Orledge and the North Dakota Monitor to join its 50 states initiative in 2024.[88]

Mountain State Spotlight also partnered with States Newsroom[9] in 2022[89] but the partnership had stopped by the launch of West Virginia Watch in 2023.[90]

Reception

NewsGuard

In January 2020, Steven Brill of NewsGuard asked States Newsroom to reveal their donors so they could better determine whether their donors had a political agenda or created conflicts of interest that the organization had not disclosed. States Newsroom responded with a defense of their model and a critique of NewsGuard's methodology for elevating sites that promote conspiracy theories and white nationalism above some innovative sites that do more factual reporting.[91][4] By August 2020, States Newsroom listed all of its donors who gave more than $500 on its website.[8]

A 2024 study by NewsGuard continued to categorize State Newsroom as a partisan-backed outlet designed to look like an apolitical one.[92] In response, a spokesperson said their newsrooms had received "hundreds of awards" and noted collaborations with ProPublica and the New York Times.[13] NewsGuard, as of June 2024, continued to list States Newsroom as an example of "pink slime sites run by partisan groups".[93]

Nieman Foundation for Journalism

In July 2020, the 16 newsrooms of States Newsroom were included but then removed from a map created by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism of "hyperpartisan sites... masquerading as local news." States Newsroom's national editor successfully argued to Nieman that the funding model was much more transparent and that many staffers for the group are longtime journalists.[94][95] In 2023, Nieman Foundation for Journalism described the newsrooms as being "studded" with experienced journalists.[9]

In May 2024, Joshua Benton of Harvard University's Nieman Lab wrote of Lyman's Pulitzer nomination for his commentaries: "The finalist recognition for the Alabama Reflector, a States Newsroom site, must feel extra sweet, given that some still misguidedly label it and its siblings as so-called 'pink slime' news sites", linking to a March 2024 NewsGuard article.[77]

Poynter Institute

In 2021, Angela Fu of Poynter Institute profiled the organization, noting how other papers have come to rely on their free articles and has facilitated for collaboration with reporters across the country.[79]

Columbia Journalism Review

In April 2024, Cameron Joseph wrote in the Columbia Journalism Review, that the States Newsroom outlets "are nothing like the 'pink slime' organizations that pass off partisan propaganda as local news. Many of the journalists running the local newsrooms... had previously been at major state newspapers" and that reporters and editors were largely autonomous from the national operation.[3] He also says that States also does not accept contributions from corporations.[3]

We urge NewsGuard to update their methodology and use their platform to stand up for real journalism and hold those who spread hate and misinformation accountable.
