We’re launching a podcast to help make the news cycle a bit more digestible.  Host and States Newsroom publisher Chris Fitzsimon, with producer Mallory Cheng, will focus on one theme in the news playing out in the states.  Each episode will put into perspective how what’s going on around one side of the country could affect you on the other end. Our first episode launches on Friday November 7th.  States Newsroom is the largest nonprofit state-focused news organization in the country. At this pivotal moment in American democracy, our veteran journalists from all 50 states are reporting the consequences of government decision making.
