The Arizona Capitol Times is known among Arizona politicos as the leading source of political news from the state Capitol and beyond. We highlight the most important issues of the moment, from a non-partisan and well-researched perspective that is critical to our readers.
Simply put, we are the nexus between state government and the public. And we are focused on our niche; if it doesn’t impact politics in Arizona, we don’t cover it. Our coverage influences policy, defines important issues and connects the various communities that make up state government.
Arizona News Service is a multi-faceted Capitol news service that produces Arizona Capitol Times, Legislation On-Line Arizona (LOLA), Arizona Legislative Report, The Yellow Sheet Report, azlobbyists.com, Citizen Government Guide, Government Resource Directory, Book of Lobbyists, The Guide to the Legislature (The Green Book) and a host of other special publications and focus issues for the legislative, business and legal communities.
ANS also hosts several events for the Capitol community including Best of the Capitol, Leaders of the Year in Public Policy, Meet the Candidates, Meet the Freshmen, The Breakdown Breakouts and Morning Scoops. Arizona News Service was founded in 1906, six years before Arizona became a state.
The newspaper is published weekly on Fridays, and the Web site www.azcapitoltimes.com is updated by the minute as news breaks.
