Coverage takes in the legislature and the governor's office, statewide elections, the courts and the oil, gas and agricultural sectors that anchor the Oklahoma economy. Reporting extends through Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Broken Arrow and the rural and tribal communities across the state. Oklahoma has one of the largest Native American populations of any state, and the governance of tribal nations—including jurisdiction, land rights and compacts with the state—is a legal and political subject with few parallels elsewhere. Severe weather, including the tornado activity that defines the state's spring season, is a recurring civic and infrastructure subject that shapes emergency management policy throughout the year.
