City Hall Reporter

The Spokesman-Review is a family-owned newspaper with daily circulation in two states that prides itself on impactful daily government coverage at all levels. We maintain a state capitol bureau in Olympia and are one of the smallest local news organizations in the nation with a full-time DC reporter. Our news reporters work with an editing team that has many decades of experience working at daily newspapers. Spokane is thriving with six area colleges, including national basketball powerhouse Gonzaga University. The Spokesman-Review was an early adopter of philanthropic-based journalism and has received four Report for America positions over the last five years. The newsroom’s popular event series, Northwest Passages, hosts prominent and top-selling authors, with the forums funding a significant portion of the newsroom’s payroll and projects. The Spokesman-Review’s recently renovated newsroom still is housed in the newspaper's nearly 140-year-old tower building in downtown Spokane.
