The St. Louis Business Journal recently named PubDef.net as one of the most influential players in local media. Our exclusive reports and innovative use of video has made PubDef.net one of the most read political blogs in the state. Our new project, PubDef.TV, is Missouri's first and only 24-hour political news channel.
