Covering the #txlege for The Texas Newsroom has been one of the best things in my career.

A great team of editors, reporters, mentors. Too many news stories, too little time. Anyway… apply for my old job and join The Texas Newsroom!

NEW: It’s been almost two months since we reported that Texas AG Ken Paxton has not disclosed multiple properties on his state ethics forms.

Paxton has not responded to us — until last week, when @TPRNews flagged him down at a campaign event. https://t.co/tuMK4O3IkA #txlege

If you missed @KUT’s recent live show, you can listen to my #ATXplained story today!

A listener wanted to know: What happened to the time capsule UT buried for its centennial? It was dug up and moved when Dell Seton broke ground in 2014.

Hey journalism twitter 👋 I recently moved to NYC and am looking for writing/editing jobs. I’m open to full-time or freelance work. I’m most interested in longform writing in the arts/culture space, but I also have experience covering health, housing, local government & more.

Here's the Sugar Land podcast from The Texas Newsroom. In 2018, crews building a school uncovered a historic cemetery containing 95 bodies. The series (hosted by @beedotmartin and @bethrwrites) explores why these 95 have not been identified. https://t.co/A48SutoHR8 @KUT
