NewsOK Politics: Your news for your government
We launched a new enhanced section front this week.
What’s an ‘enhanced section front,’ you ask?
Basically, it’s our way of telling our audience that we’re focusing on certain areas of coverage. It’s our way of guaranteeing the best coverage of certain topic.
Let’s just take a look at the enhanced section fronts we’ve put together in the past six moths.
- NewsOK Varsity: The best high school coverage anywhere.
- Watchdog: A dedicated group of journalists here to expose corruption in Oklahoma.
- Oklahoma City Thunder: The nation’s No. 1 source for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
- OU Sports: The nation’s No. 1 source for OU sports.
- OSU Sports: The nation’s No. 1 source for OSU sports.
Granted, it’s a little heavy on sports. So we balanced out the enhancements this week.
We launched NewsOK Politics: Your News for Your Government. It has separate pages for the state government, the federal government, Oklahoma City government and other local municipalities (like Edmond, Norman and other metro areas).
NewsOK Politics is led with a new blog, shared by our entire coverage team. The reporting team includes experts from Washington (Chris Casteel), the state Capitol (Michael McNutt and Julie Bisbee), Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County (Bryan Dean), Edmond (Diana Baldwin and John Williams), Norman (Jane Glenn Cannon and James Tyree) and other metro areas (Tim Henley).
It also includes multimedia reporter John Estus, database editor Paul Monies, assistant local editor Nick Trougakos and local editor Michael Baker.
It’s a large team and a huge commitment. They are committed to covering the government and the political process in Oklahoma better than anyone else.
It’s a guarantee. After all, it’s an enhanced section front, remember?
