GOOD TO SEE THAT THE TEXAS OBSERVER INCLUDED THE BOOK OF WOUNDED SPARROWS IN THEIR “WHAT TO READ LIST” OF 2024

Senior Editor and Writer (and all-around badass) @LiseDigger talks to readers about why @TexasNeedsAnObserver. She also gives a shoutout to #TexasObserver readers who wrote in support during our financial crisis. I read these to cheer up after a long day. https://t.co/1cBTS3A40u
.@gabrielarana: "The real power of the beautiful grassroots movement that saved our magazine is that it signals to larger donors that we are worth investing in." https://t.co/9Cwo7McGVI #UnitedStates #TexasObserver
The board announced plans on Monday to shut down the 68-year-old publication due to financial problems. #Texas #TexasPolitics #TexasObserver #journalism #crowdfunding

“Right now, eleven hours after staff were formally informed by the board that layoffs were coming and a shutdown was imminent, it seems there is a pathway...not just to give a lifeline to my former colleagues, but actually to save the institution itself.” #TexasObserver ⬇️
The 68-year-old progressive publication, which published Ronnie Dugger, Molly Ivins and Kaye Northcott, hit financial troubles and wasn’t able to broaden its audience, board members said. #Texas #TexasObserver #media #journalism

Journalists MUST be in the room when decisions like this are being made. It makes my investigative eye twitch that they are doing this without notice. #texasobserver
NOW: "Our board is committed to reinventing the Texas Observer...our strategy for now is a hiatus...the Board agreed yesterday to try to avoid making this a funeral...but we can't engage in dialogue now..."
Full time staff were just given what appears to be five days notice.
#texasobserver should be f'ing trending right now.
That this institution is closing - and the way the board appears to be mishandling it - is a grave sign for #journalism - it's not hyperbole it's f'ing fact.
"Our editors have asked you to meet with us before today...there's not enough journalists on the board to do this. You need our help. Let's make a full court press and put out a membership drive."
Texas Observer needs to raise roughly $200,000 to stave off immediate closure
The #TexasObserver, the storied progressive publication known for its feisty, combative and often humorous investigative journalism, is closing and laying off its staff https://t.co/Mol7xcunjx
Read between the lines. The board failed the #TexasObserver . They failed to fundraise but much more critically they failed to communicate. And like so many nonprofit boards they failed to recognize their duty to implement HR policies and procedures.
The #TexasObserver is a haven for abortion-loving, radical trans activist leftists. But my wish is to argue against folks on those soapboxes, not to see their jobs vanish. Best wishes to the writers affected, I hope they resurface soon in other locations to annoy me further. :)
EXCLUSIVE: The Texas Observer, the crusading liberal magazine founded in 1954, which Molly Ivins edited in the ’70s, is closing down and laying off its staff. The board voted on Wednesday, and again today, to proceed with the shutdown.

@sewellchan Have they appealed to readers for regular extra support to keep #TexasObserver going? Here in #UK that is how @M_Star_Online manages including publishing 6 days a week a printed copy. Also @BylineTimes started that way in recent times & mails a printed version every 4 weeks
More than excited to be a new board member for the truth-telling rabble-rousing @TexasObserver and its amazing team of writers and editors. Molly Ivins lives on in that newsroom. #truthinjournalism #texasobserver
