The story behind the sound bite.
Pundit News Service (PNS) has been covering the national parties' political primaries since 1996 with an emphasis on the "First in the Nation" New Hampshire primary. Building on Richard Sweeney's vision to deliver unbiased, fact-based information on the candidates competing in the political primaries for their party's nomination, PNS has a current staff of 15 journalists, researchers and on-line content analysts. PNS has 2 staff deployed in Iowa and will have seven journalists in New Hampshire in the weeks leading up to the New Hampshire primary on February 11, 2020.
While journalists are often subject to the scorn of political candidates, Pundit News Service (PNS) embraces the label of "The MEDIA" and the core values that represent the best of the profession. Neither mainstream nor fringe, PNS brings focus and integrity to seeking the truth about each candidate's positions and record. PNS delivers content primarily through blogs, Twitter and Facebook but also provides content for other print and online publications.
