Editorial Independence Policy

We subscribe to standards of editorial independence adopted by the Institute for Nonprofit News:

Stateline is funded entirely by The Pew Charitable Trusts, a nonprofit organization. We maintain control over editorial content to protect our commitment to nonpartisan, fact-based journalism independent of outside influence. 

Stateline partners with other organizations to cover particular topics, but our organization maintains editorial control of the coverage. We will cede no right of review or influence of editorial content, nor of unauthorized distribution of editorial content.
