About
The Ohio Capital Journal is a hard-hitting, independent, nonprofit news organization dedicated to connecting Ohioans to their state government and its impact on their lives. The Capital Journal combines Ohio state government coverage with relentless investigative journalism, deep dives into the consequences of policy, political insight, and principled, progressive commentary.
All those cheesy journalism aphorisms about reporters being the eyes and ears of the people in the halls of power? We believe them, deeply.
We also deeply believe in sharing the stories of people outside the halls of power, connecting the actions of state leaders to their impacts on Ohioans.
The Capital Journal is free of advertising and free to readers.
