A new, affordable way to cover the Tennessee General Assembly.
It’s that simple. Small community-based newspapers throughout Tennessee now have a cost-effective way to keep their readers informed by using customized news coverage provided by Capitol Newswatch.
Utilizing the services of Capitol Newswatch, newspapers across the state will receive customized, non-partisan articles direct from Nashville about their own legislators’ bills and votes, as well as his or her reaction to statewide legislation; a RSS feed to embed directly on their websites for updates according to their schedule; Notes posted on their Facebook pages driving readers to their websites for the latest stories, and updates via Twitter to help drive readers to their websites.
In today’s economic climate, the ability of many smaller newspapers to report first-hand the actions of their state legislators on a daily basis, as well as key legislation that will affect their readers’ lives, is almost out of the question. These newspapers are running with “lean and mean” budgets and cannot afford to send reporters to the Tennessee General Assembly.
It was that fact, combined with the realization that important legislation directly affecting citizens throughout Tennessee often goes unreported – or at best is under-reported through newsletters from legislators with their own spins on the issues – that prompted the launch of Capitol Newswatch LLC.
