About Granite State Report

Granite State Report is an independent newsroom covering New Hampshire’s politics, policy, and power—without the spin. We follow the money, read the fine print, and explain how decisions in Concord and at your town hall hit your wallet, rights, and community.

What we cover

  • State House, executive agencies, and the governor’s office
  • Local government, schools, budgets, and boards
  • Elections, campaign finance, lobbying, and ethics
  • Courts, public safety, infrastructure, energy, and the environment
  • Data-driven stories that put public records back in the public’s hands

How we work

  • Document-first reporting: records requests, datasets, audits, and receipts
  • On-the-ground sourcing across the state, not just the usual rooms
  • Clear explainers and investigations, plus occasional documentary-style features
  • Transparent methods: we link to source documents and show our work

Standards

  • Independent ownership and editorial control. No pay-to-play.
  • Fair, rigorous reporting. We don’t do both-sides theater when the evidence isn’t equal.
  • Corrections are posted quickly and clearly. Accountability applies to us, too.
  • Opinion is labeled as opinion; news is reported as news.

Why we exist
New Hampshire deserves coverage that’s tough, local, and useful. Our job is to surface facts, cut through stagecraft, and give readers enough context to make real decisions—not just absorb the headlines of the day
