Watchdog.org is a network of American news websites that feature reporting on state and local government from a conservative perspective.[2] It is a project of the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.[3]
According to the Watchdog.org website, the organization's mission is "to restore oversight of our state governments, to hold politicians and bureaucrats at all levels accountable for their handling of taxpayers’ dollars and to promote individual liberty and free markets."[4]
Watchdog.org reports that it has state-based investigative reporters in more than 40 states.[4] The network includes news outlets such as Wisconsin Watchdog.[5]
