From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oklahoma Watch is a non-profit reporting project focused on public policy journalism in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Established in 2010 by former Tulsa World reporter Tom Lindley, and supported with an initial seed investment from the Knight Foundation and the Tulsa Community Foundation, it partners with Oklahoma's public radio stations and rural newspapers for the distribution of its original journalism.[1] It is a member outlet of the Institute for Nonprofit News.[2]
