While more reporters are covering the Utah statehouse, measures by lawmakers to restrict media access in the Utah Capitol have also increased.
Overall, the Pew study found that the number of statehouse reporters in the U.S. has increased by 11%. But data shows the number of full-time statehouse reporters has declined between 2014 and 2022. Nationally, the survey found about half of U.S. statehouse reporters covered the state capital full time.
Brian Allfrey, executive director of the Utah Press Association, said it’s a good sign to see resources and “more sunlight” aimed at the Utah statehouse. In the report, Pew researchers attributed the expansion of reporters covering state Legislatures to new nonprofit news outlets hiring more statehouse reporters and news organizations shifting to more part-time statehouse reporting.
