🙋‍♂️🚨NEWS ABOUT ME: As @semaforben scooped, I’m joining Emerson Collective on 1/1 as a senior advisor. Excited to partner w @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow + team to strengthen democracy by enabling reliable, credible, independent journalism semafor.com/article/10/30/… #txlege
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow All over the country are communities with few/no sources of news. Tens of millions have nowhere to turn for basic information about the decisions made by government officials that affect their lives. This is bad and this is wrong. @emcollective wants to fix it. Me too #txlege
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow @EmCollective Drawing on 13 years of @texastribune experience + a sincere desire to help others succeed as we did, I’ll work closely with dozens of nonprofit newsrooms in @emcollective portfolio and especially its local news grantees #txlege

OPEN YOUR WALLETS: @TexasTribune's fall pledge drive begins today. We have an ambitious goal for an ambitious news org — 550 new members and $90,000 raised to pay for serious journalism

#txlege #tx2022
@TexasTribune Election Day is seven weeks away. We’re continuing to cover #Uvalde, the impact of the pandemic on education + the economy, the abortion ban, the mess on the border. The work of our nonprofit newsroom has never been more important

#txlege #tx2022
@TexasTribune Texas desperately needs a reliable, credible, independent source of news and information. An org whose only mission is to search for the truth. Reporting in the public interest. Support from our thousands of members makes that possible.

🚨 Today I let my colleagues know that 2022 — my 30th year in journalism in Texas — will be my last as @texastribune’s CEO. There’s never a good time to leave a job you love, but there’s a right time. This is the right time for me and for us texastribune.org/2022/01/12/eva… #txlege
@TexasTribune Going back to our launch in 2009, my commitment to @texastribune as CEO — the best job anyone could ever hope to have — has been 150%. I’ve been honored to work my tail off every single day on behalf of Texas and Texans. texastribune.org/2022/01/12/eva… #txlege
@TexasTribune I believe in public service journalism more than ever. I believe in @texastribune’s amazing staff more than ever. And with the politics and issues of the moment swirling, I believe in the importance of better-informed citizens more than ever texastribune.org/2022/01/12/eva… #txlege

Another @TexasTribune Festival is in the books — and it was a big success. Great speakers, bold ideas, compelling conversations. And we raised a lot of money through sponsorships and ticket sales to pay for the public service journalism Texas needs more than ever #txlege
@TexasTribune It also was — still is — our fall membership drive week. We had big goals for new member sign-ups, renewals, and of course $$. @kass_kell @bobbycblanchard have killed it. We’re almost there. Thirteen hours to go. We need all good folks who care about Texas to step up #txlege
@TexasTribune @kass_kell @bobbycblanchard I’m a broken record at this point, but indulge me: Our job at the Tribune is to enable thoughtful and productive citizenship through our journalism. That’s what we said we’d do twelve years ago when we launched, and it’s what we’re still doing — better than ever #txlege
