U.S. center-left
Rhode Island Current is a nonprofit digital news outlet launched in March 2023 as part of the States Newsroom network, which operates state-focused newsrooms across the country. It is funded by grants and donations rather than advertising, and its coverage centers on Rhode Island state government and public policy. Its recent reporting on the Trump administration has focused heavily on federal funding freezes, denied disaster relief, and the rollback of offshore wind and environmental programs — reflecting a broadly critical posture.
