About States Herald

States Herald reports on the United States for readers who want the country's news delivered straight: what happened, where, and why it matters. The editorial team covers Washington without losing sight of the states, and covers the states without losing sight of the people living in them. The promise is simple. Every article is chosen, checked and approved by a human editor before it goes live.

The site publishes daily across twelve beats: Politics, Business, Society, Crime, Technology, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment, World, Climate and Lifestyle. One day that means a Supreme Court ruling, a jobs report or a hurricane landfall. The next it means a school funding fight, a drug approval, a playoff race or a wildfire season. Each beat gets the treatment its subject demands: numbers for the economy, procedure for the courts, evidence for the science desk.

Who reads States Herald? Americans following their own country, and readers abroad who need a clear window into it. Voters before an election. Parents following school policy. Savers watching the Federal Reserve. Fans tracking the trade deadline. The writing stays in plain English so the reporting travels.

How does the work get made? An editor decides what to cover. An editor verifies names, figures, dates and quotes against the original source. An editor decides how each story is framed and signs off before publication. No article appears on the strength of a tip or a wire alone. Someone with a desk and a byline reads it first and stands behind it. The working rules sit in our Editorial Policy and Ethics Policy.

Who answers for all of this? The editorial team behind States Herald, which commissions, verifies, corrects and publishes everything under this name. Formal details about the publisher appear in the Legal Notice. To reach the newsroom directly, see Contact.
