Outlet track record

NOTUS

U.S. center-left

NOTUS is a nonprofit digital news outlet launched in January 2024 under the Allbritton Journalism Institute, backed by Robert Allbritton, who also co-founded Politico. It covers U.S. Congress and federal policy, and despite describing itself as nonpartisan, independent media analysts (Media Bias/Fact Check, Ground News) rate it left-of-center. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has skewed critical, with investigative pieces on FOIA rollbacks and the president's stock trades coinciding with favorable regulatory actions.
