We publish to an audience that seeks balanced state-focused view with a taxpayer’s sensibility.

The Inherent Value of Franklin News Foundation


When news consumers have access to information about how state and local government spends money or makes decisions in terms they can understand, their civic literacy increases and they can more easily interact with state-level news.

We do this through straightforward reporting from the taxpayers’ perspective. We explain what is contained within legislation, how that will affect the lives of taxpayers and job creators, and allow them to see – in real time as legislation is moving – how what is being proposed or voted upon will directly affect their lives. It is in this regard that our reporting is a public benefit, as it provides greater understanding of the mechanics of local and state civics.
