Political reports are non-partisan, unbiased newsletters that are dedicated to analyzing the progress of political campaigns and elections.

The Cook Political Report reviews campaigns and elections including races between governors, as well as the House of Representatives, and that Senate. It provides this information for every state. The Rothenburg Political Report is one of the political reports that is formulated as a blog that analyzes United States politics and elections. The Independent Report is one of the few political reports created as a place in which third party news can be reported and third party candidates can have their views recognized. This is important because there are not many resources available dedicated solely to the outlet of third party politics. Political reports are important because they provide the public with a place to gain unbiased information about candidates and their ideas and progress.

Political news can be found in mediums such as newspapers, the radio and online news sources. The discussion of political news takes up a great portion of television news broadcasts and television talk shows. It also is the focus of many newspaper journalists and online websites.

Despite the ease in which the public can receive political news, it is important that they are careful not to rely solely on information presented from one news source, as many new sources are known to be biased and favor one side or the other, such as alternative news sources which tend to support the liberal views. Political news often has the ability to call the public to action or ignite the feeling that action must be taken. One recent example of this occurred after the attacks on September 11. The terrible images of the burning twin towers was broadcast into homes all over the country through the television and the radio. These images and the discussions and debates that took place on political news stations surrounding the attacks united the American population with the cause to preserve freedom and justice and persuaded them to act.
