Statehouse journalists working in the U.S. 2022, by outlet type
A report released in 2022 found that 25 percent of statehouse journalists in the United States were employed by newspapers at the time of survey that year, down from 38 percent in 2014. Meanwhile, the share of U.S. statehouse reporters employed by non-profits increased from six to 20 percent during the same time period, making non-profits the second-largest employer of U.S. statehouse journalists. The source attributed this change to cutbacks in the newspaper industry.
