Louisiana Illuminator

The Louisiana Illuminator is a nonprofit, ad-free digital news outlet owned and operated by States Newsroom, a national network of state-focused nonprofit newsrooms funded primarily through philanthropic grants and reader donations. Independent bias raters consistently place it on the left of the political spectrum, and its story selection tends to emphasize the negative effects of conservative and federal policies on Louisiana residents. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has been broadly critical, focusing on issues such as Medicaid enforcement, EPA cuts, FEMA elimination proposals, and contested use of presidential pardons.
