Here in Dallas, we are among the fortunate to have a robust media landscape. Although our newspaper has a smaller staff than it once did, continued investment by this paper’s ownership has kept our newsroom strong, and the support of readers continues to help us provide critical coverage that strengthens our community.
But there are plenty of places in Texas, and across the U.S., where local news coverage has been reduced to its thinnest form, if it hasn’t disappeared entirely.
