• Stateline.org — http://www.stateline.org/live/ — Stateline.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan online news site that practices journalism in the public interest by reporting on emerging trends and issues in state policy and politics.  Each weekday, Stateline.org’s staff of professional journalists chronicles the top developments in all 50 states. They then connect the dots through our original reporting and graphics to spot and analyze developments of national significance taking shape in the states. Their goal is to enlighten public debate on topics of importance at the state level, including health care, taxes, immigration, social policy, education, energy, environment, criminal justice, transportation and elections.  Stateline.org has published each weekday since Jan. 25, 1999, with funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent nonprofit organization that applies the power of knowledge to solve today’s most challenging problems. In the face of shrinking news coverage of state government, the Trusts launched the project to enhance understanding of critical public policy developments in state capitals among the public, policymakers and news media.  On July 1, 2008, Stateline.org officially became a project of the Pew Center on the States (PCS), a division of the Trusts.
