Funded by / Ownership
Lee Enterprises owns and publishes the Tulsa World. According to Open Secrets, Lee Enterprises donated 88% of its money to Republican politicians from 1990 until 2016. However, during the 2020 election cycle, they donated 70% to Democratic candidates and causes. Advertising and subscription fees generate revenue.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Tulsa World reports on news, sports, weather, crime, and entertainment for the greater Tulsa region. Reporters demonstrate minimal bias when reporting local news, such as this Recreational marijuana petition campaign still on schedule despite challenges, organizer says. Further, the website publishes national and international news from the Associated Press. Finally, all information is sourced via first-person accounts or through credible media.
Editorially, the Tulsa World reasonably represents both sides. A review of editorial articles demonstrates a reasonable balance; however, slightly more op-eds favor the right. Further, Tulsa World has always endorsed Republican candidates, and op-eds reflect a conservative perspective; therefore, we rate them right-center biased and high for factual news reporting.
