Capitol News Illinois begins daily email newsletter, and it’s free!
SPRINGFIELD – Capitol News Illinois has launched an email newsletter, Capitol News Daily, that will be sent each weekday morning while the General Assembly is in session.
Capitol News Daily is free to email subscribers and will include all of the most recent coverage of state government from the Illinois Press Foundation’s nonprofit news service. A special Capitol News Friday edition of the newsletter will also feature the best state government coverage from Illinois’ daily and nondaily newspapers.
Capitol News Daily subscribers will also receive first access to our Capitol Cast podcasts, and the newsletter will include additional reporting notes and insights from our news team of Bureau Chief Jerry Nowicki and reporters Rebecca Anzel, Peter Hancock and Ben Orner.
It’s easy to subscribe. Simply click on “Sign Up For Our Newsletter” on this website’s home page, fill out the form, and the next Capitol News Daily email will be delivered to you! Once you’ve subscribed, feel free to share the newsletter with your friends and colleagues who are interested in state government news.

“Having been in newsrooms since graduating from college, I have a strong sense of how Capitol News Illinois can help newspapers across the state,” Rogers said. “This is an exciting opportunity to help the industry in Illinois by providing coverage of state government that most of our newspapers are not getting. In the bigger picture, it’s an opportunity to help Illinois residents reconnect with their state government.”
