Statewide reporting covers the legislature and the governor's office, state elections, the courts and the financial and corporate sectors that anchor the Delaware economy. The reach runs through Wilmington, Dover, Newark and Middletown and the communities across a compact but commercially dense state. Delaware's role as a national incorporation hub gives its courts and legislature an outsize influence on corporate governance decisions nationwide. The small size of the state means that a single industry decision or legislative shift can register quickly across most of its communities.
