Scripps News is an American news network that was branded as "Newsy" through the end of 2022. Originally a "re-packager" of news, a typical one- or two-minute Newsy segment would cover a story with clips from local news stations, national broadcasters, print media, and web outlets. After being purchased by the E. W. Scripps Company in 2014, Newsy has evolved into a full-fledged news organization that is headquartered in Atlanta, with journalists also operating out of bureaus in Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Missoula, Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Seattle, Tampa, and Tulsa. In addition, the Scripps News Washington Bureau covers the capital and produces investigative and enterprise stories[1].
