Outlet track record
Ohio Capital Journal
U.S. left-leaning / progressive
The Ohio Capital Journal is a nonprofit digital news outlet covering Ohio state government, owned and operated within the States Newsroom network. Multiple independent media-bias raters (Media Bias/Fact Check, AllSides, Ground News) classify it as left-leaning to lean-left. Its recent coverage of the Trump administration's second term has consistently framed federal policy changes — on the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, and child care — as harmful to Ohio residents.
