State Affairs, a nonpartisan news platform covering state governments, has launched a Florida bureau in Tallahassee with veteran journalists Dara Kam and Jim Saunders. Kam joins as senior statehouse reporter, whilst Saunders becomes managing editor. The bureau, which opened on 2 February, will provide in-depth coverage of Florida's government and politics. Both journalists bring decades of experience covering the state Legislature, courts, elections and governors. Kam's podcast "Between the Lines With Dara Kam" will air every Monday morning. The bureau will publish a daily newsletter called The Florida Files. State Affairs combines on-the-ground statehouse reporting with AI-powered legislative and regulatory tools. Editor-in-chief Alison Bethel said the expansion reflects the platform's vision to grow its national footprint with independent journalism.
