State House News covers state and local government and the judiciary, provides daily schedules and gavel-to-gavel coverage of House and Senate sessions, and reports from press conferences. Its coverage stands out because the service strives to be as objective as possible.

The website is updated constantly as news comes in. The service also posts and archives every press release that is sent to the Beacon Hill press corps. Founded in 1894, State House News is highly regarded by journalists, lobbyists, government officials, and civic and business leaders.
