🙋♂️🚨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
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow @EmCollective @TexasTribune I’ll make site visits, lead strategy sessions, consult about fundraising and the like + serve as a principal coach to @emcollective’s new cohort of nascent local newsrooms #txlege
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow @EmCollective @TexasTribune I’ll also pitch in with excellent team at @TheAtlantic, which @emcollective owns, on their live events, and I’ll partner with them on bringing #TribFest-style daylong programs to cities between the coasts in collaboration with local news nonprofits #txlege
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow @EmCollective @TexasTribune @TheAtlantic **This is a dream gig.** After more than three decades in the biz I still believe in the power of fair, thorough, and accurate reporting + ambitious public events. So lucky to align with org + people whose mission, values and commitment I share, admire and respect #txlege
@semaforben @laurenepowell @peterlattman @amyjlow @EmCollective @TexasTribune @TheAtlantic In 2023 I’ll be senior advisor to @texastribune and my successor @sonalrshah as well. In Texas and elsewhere, there is so much need and so much opportunity. Can’t wait to get to work. See you on the other side #txlege
