The Texas Tribune

Independent news. Trusted by Texans.

 The Texas Tribune is an established leader in digital-first journalism, devoted to informing and engaging Texans through in-depth investigations and explanatory guides, as well as with rigorous enterprise, breaking news and beat reporting informed by data. We also hold informational statewide events throughout the year. Our newsroom covers a range of topics, including public and higher education, health and human services, mental health, immigration and the border, politics and threats to democracy, urban affairs, as well as climate, energy and the environment.

All of our journalism is free and accessible to everyone. As a nonprofit, public service news organization, our journalism is free because we believe that access is core to our public service mission. We count on readers for critical support for our reliable reporting. 

We produce robust, nonpartisan journalism in a range of formats — including data visualizations, easily searchable databases and editorial events — bringing greater transparency and accountability to public policy, politics and government. Our goal is to raise the level of civic engagement in communities far and wide and to bringreturn civility to public discourse on the issues that matter.

The Tribune’s storytelling goes deep to break down complicated issues that impact everyday Texans. As a result, those Texans have the tools to be more thoughtful and engaged — and not just at election time.
