New Hampshire state government, politics and democracy

Charlotte Matherly

Charlotte Matherly covers the New Hampshire statehouse for The Concord Monitor & Monadnock Ledger Transcript. Matherly previously reported on government and education in Virginia as a freelancer. She has interned at The Chronicle of Higher Education and at a business journal in Richmond, Virginia for the Dow Jones News Fund. Matherly pursued journalism on a whim when she joined her campus newspaper, The Breeze, at James Madison University. Immediately hooked, she became an award-winning features editor, then editor-in-chief. She holds a bachelor’s degree in media arts and design from JMU. When not poring over public records or holed up at a government meeting (which is rare), Matherly loves to roller skate, explore new cities and frequent local coffee shops.

Concord Monitor/Monadnock Ledger Transcript

The Concord Monitor is a Pulitzer Prize-winning daily newspaper located in New Hampshire's capital city. We strive to publish people-driven narrative stories and high-quality investigative journalism. The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript is a twice-weekly paper circulated in the southwestern portion of the state that is committed to local journalism that matters. Both news outlets aim to be digital-first publications. Our parent company is Newspapers of New England, a family-owned business.
