Nonprofit expands statehouse coverage in otherwise ghost town news atmosphere

The nonprofit States Newsroom provides readers with statehouse coverage showing that local and state news need not perish. It plans to open five outlets this year in Idaho, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon and New Mexico while providing a free syndication service of statehouse coverage to other news organizations. Begun in 2017 in Nevada, Florida and Virginia, it has now created 17 news outlets. (Poynter, February 26, 2021, by Angela Fu)
