Understanding the Difference between Pro State Affairs and Citizen Content
(Design: Brittney Phan)
Dear Readers,
I hope this letter finds you well. As the team at State Affairs, we would like to take a moment to clarify and explain the distinction between our State Affairs Pro content and the “Citizen” content that you find on our website. We believe that this understanding will enhance your experience and ensure that you can easily navigate our platform to access the information that best suits your needs.
State Affairs Pro Content
State Affairs Pro content is specifically written for professionals working in state government and related fields such as lobbying, law, education, government relations, public policy, and other related disciplines. This section of our website focuses on in-depth news, expert insights, and comprehensive coverage of current affairs, legislative developments, and regulatory changes that directly impact the functioning of state governments.
State Affairs Pro includes:
Pro
- State Government News: Our team of experienced journalists covers the latest news and developments related to state government, including detailed news about legislative operations, elections, executive actions, and important court rulings. We strive to deliver accurate, timely, and impartial reporting on state-level affairs.
- Policy Analysis: We provide detailed examinations of key policy issues, legislative proposals, and regulatory frameworks at the state level. Our expert contributors break down complex topics, providing valuable insights and perspectives.
- Government Relations & Legislative Tools: We offer advocacy tools, legislative directories and a capitol-focused job board, with more features to come. With State Affairs, you’ll have all the news, information and tools you need to successfully navigate state government. Additional information about current and future services is available at https://stateaffairs.com/pro/
- Citizen Content: Pro subscribers can read all of our Citizen content.
Citizen Content
Citizen content is designed to provide accessible information to a broader audience interested in state affairs. This section aims to engage and inform citizens, voters, and individuals with a general interest in understanding state-level governance and its impact on their lives. And we do it every week in a non-partisan, transparent and timely manner.
Our mantra is: Bringing the Statehouse to your house.
The Citizen content on our website includes:
Citizen
- Explainers and Guides: We offer simplified explanations of state policies, processes, and the role of state governments through original, longer form (we call it “enterprise”) and investigative reporting. Our enterprise and investigative stories help readers understand how decisions are made, how laws are enacted, and how they can actively participate in the democratic process.
- Playmaker Profiles: We highlight individuals and organizations that are making a difference in state government or who have significant influence in politics across the state.
- Public Opinion Analysis: We provide analysis of public sentiment and opinion polls on key state-level issues, helping citizens understand the diverse perspectives within their communities and informing their own viewpoints. We also do this by providing opinion and commentary from respected individuals across the state.
We believe that by providing both State Affairs Pro and Citizen content, we can cater to the needs of professionals working in the field as well as the broader public with an interest in state affairs. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of state governance and encourage active participation in shaping public policies that affect our lives.
We appreciate your continued readership and support. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our content or website, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We value your feedback and strive to continuously improve our platform to meet your needs.
Thank you for being a part of the State Affairs community.
Sincerely,
Alison Bethel
Chief Content Officer & Editor-in-Chief
