It’s not enough to be a newsmaker these days, as the conservative Heritage Foundation surely has been with its vigorous opposition to federal budget deficits, Obamacare, immigrant “amnesty” and same-sex marriage.

Nowadays, you have to cover the news, too. Or so says the Heritage Foundation, which on Tuesday will start doing just that.

Call it think-tank journalism, or maybe just journalism. Heritage is calling it the Daily Signal, the Washington policy organization’s online helping of the day’s news, reported and edited straight up, the site’s architects promise.

“Our sense is there are a lot of really good stories that go unreported or under-reported,” says Geoff Lysaught, the site’s publisher and Heritage’s vice president of strategic communications. “Our whole role here is to make sure that the facts find their way into the light.”
