The Alabama Political Reporter is a daily newspaper based in Alabama.
Notable reporters
[edit]Bill Britt is the Editor-in-chief.[1] Columnist, commentator, and former Alabama State Representative Steve Flowers has described Britt as "the premier political investigative reporter" on Alabama politics.[2]
Eddie Burkhalter, then a 2020 Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellow at the Alabama Political Reporter, was a contributor to the New York Times's team coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.[3]
Controversies
[edit]In 2022, the Alabama Political Reporter was one of six independent news outlets accused of downplaying negative reporting about Alabama Power and engaging in a smear campaign against Terry Dunn, a Republican Public Service Commission member and critic of Alabama Power, who subsequently lost a re-election bid.[4]
In 2023, reporter Jacob Holmes began covering a controversy over books in the children's section of the Autauga-Prattville Library, which drew national attention and is currently the subject of a lawsuit.[5][6]
