One of the more recent internet offerings to appear on the New Hampshire “media” landscape is the NH Bulletin which sells itself as an independent non-profit news organization.
The New Hampshire Bulletin is an independent, nonprofit news organization dedicated to keeping the people of the Granite State informed about the issues that matter most. …
Launched in April 2021, The New Hampshire Bulletin is an affiliate of States Newsroom, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by grants and a coalition of donors and readers. The Bulletin retains full editorial independence. Your donations are vital, and your money goes directly to paying for quality journalism.
They don’t tell you who States Newsroom is, so we will.
States Newsroom is a U.S. tax-exempt organization that serves as an umbrella organization for state-focused news outlets with progressive editorial outlooks. Launched in 2019, it began as a sponsored project of the Hopewell Fund, a left-leaning nonprofit that does not disclose its donors.[1][2] It grew out of NC Policy Watch, a progressive think tank in North Carolina founded by Chris Fitzsimon. Fitzsimon is States Newsroom’s director and publisher.[3]
We would never discourage you from surfing the latest narrative tactics of media progressives, but you should have a clear understanding of the NH Bulletins’ actual purpose.
It’s the Blue Hampshire Bulletin.
It uses undisclosed deep-pocketed leftists to pay for “reporters” who shape progressive messaging for struggling, cash-strapped newsrooms that can then take these stories and publish them for free as legitimate news.
In other words, some rich progs are buying reporters to produce Left-Wing column inches to fill local news pages. And they are only independent in so far as you have no idea who pays their progressive reporters, only that wealthy left-wing interests fund them.
We just thought you’d like to know.
