ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have selected five partner organizations in Texas to participate in a new investigative initiative that will support accountability journalism in local newsrooms across the state.
Over the next year, the five newsrooms El Paso Matters, Fort Worth Report, Houston Chronicle, The Texas Newsroom and WFAA will report on how power is wielded in Texas in collaboration with our Texas unit.
In 2020, ProPublica and the Tribune launched a first-of-its-kind collaboration to publish investigative reporting for and about Texas. Both organizations publish the teams stories, which are distributed for free to other news organizations in Texas and beyond.
Local newsrooms are primed to deliver accountability reporting because they intimately know the communities they cover, said Vianna Davila, deputy editor of the ProPublica-Tribune investigative unit. We hope to facilitate even more of that reporting at a critical time in Texas and are so excited to work with these five newsrooms from across the state.
