Controversies
In 2022, the Alabama Political Reporter was one of six independent news outlets accused of downplaying negative reporting about Alabama Power and engaging in a smear campaign against Terry Dunn, a Republican Public Service Commission member and critic of Alabama Power, who subsequently lost a re-election bid.[4]
In 2023, reporter Jacob Holmes began covering a controversy over books in the children's section of the Autauga-Prattville Library, which drew national attention and is currently the subject of a lawsuit.[5][6]
