Alabama Political Reporter

What Alabama Political Reporter does

Alabama Political Reporter is a privately-held digital news publication founded in 2011 and headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, covering Alabama state government, elections, the state legislature, and related political and policy developments. It serves Alabama-based political insiders, journalists, lobbyists, advocacy professionals, and politically engaged general readers who require sustained, in-state political coverage that general-interest outlets underprovide. The publication's core product is the alreporter.com website, supported by the "The Voice of Alabama Politics" podcast, "The Day's Scoop" daily newsletter, and "Weekly Roundup" newsletter. The technical stack is a standard WordPress CMS; the site has accumulated approximately 30,601 pages of content since launch, with Bill Britt serving as editor-in-chief. The business model is advertising-based, monetizing through display advertising and sponsored content on its owned properties. The company operates with a 14-person team. There is no disclosed funding, ownership, or revenue data, and the publication does not pursue subscription or paywall-based monetization based on available evidence.
