The Nevada News Bureau (NNB) is an independent, non-partisan news service covering the statehouse and state politics in Nevada.  We endorse the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists and adhere to no political philosophy other than a belief in fair, accurate reporting and open government.  Ethical, transparent governance is an American ideal, and one we believe is embraced and much needed by citizens of all political persuasions.

Bureau Locations & Distribution

The Nevada News Bureau has offices in Carson City and Las Vegas.  We also publish the work of freelance journalists located around the state.  Our content is distributed through (1) a free news wire service to Nevada’s media outlets, (2) publication on this website and (3) a free daily e-Brief available by e-subscription.  (Readers can sign up for the e-Briefs on our Home page.)

Why does Nevada need another news outlet?

During 2008-2009, budget constraints and faltering business models forced the owners and publishers of many of Nevada’s print, online and broadcast media outlets to lay off experienced staff.  This resulted in unfortunate cutbacks to both statehouse and local news reporting. The Nevada News Bureau exists to provide free, quality news content to other media outlets as well as to its own readers.

Funding

The Nevada News Bureau is a project of Citizen Outreach, a 501(c)(3) exempt organization that is supported by a variety of private grants and by the generous donations of its supporters.  Not all donors request anonymity, but in many cases we must honor the wishes of our donors and keep their identity confidential.

Through the generosity of our donors and the support of other non-profit organizations such as the Franklin Center, the Nevada News Bureau is striving to help fill the void that has been created by the general lack of resources and personnel at news organizations across the state.

Who is using NNB’s content?
