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

NEWS: Sad to report that after the brutal intensity and pace and stress of the last year, @s_m_i @millie have decided to step away from their roles at @texastribune 1/8
@s_m_i @millie @TexasTribune In a note to our staff, they cite burnout, self-care, the need for better balance between life and work, prioritizing mental health and well-being. They are not alone. This was a year that broke everybody 2/8
@s_m_i @millie @TexasTribune There’s much to celebrate about the work they’ve led. They guided our world-class reporting on the defining news events of 2020 and 2021, always prodding us to do more, dig deeper, push harder 3/8

@TexasTribune Back in June — a million years ago in pandemic time — we hinted at the plan: a mix of live and pre-recorded programs, some free and some ticketed, some viewable one-time only and some on demand, mostly video but a good bit of audio

Today I wrote to @texastribune's readers around TX and across the country to say thanks for trusting us to keep them reliably informed. What a moment for the world. And what a moment for the news
@TexasTribune Public-service journalism — fair, thorough, accurate, faithful to its mission of holding powerful people and institutions accountable — has always been a necessary component of our democracy, and it’s absolutely essential today
@TexasTribune For nearly 11 years, from #txlege and elections to Hurricane Harvey and the humanitarian crisis at the border, our nonprofit newsroom has been focused on giving Texans the means to be more engaged, thoughtful and productive
