El Paso Matters is among five Texas newsrooms selected for a unique collaboration with the Texas Tribune and ProPublica to report on how power is wielded in Texas.
“Local newsrooms are primed to deliver accountability reporting because they intimately know the communities they cover,” said Vianna Davila, deputy editor of the ProPublica-Tribune investigative unit. “We hope to facilitate even more of that reporting at a critical time in Texas and are so excited to work with these five newsrooms from across the state.”
El Paso Matters is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that has been El Paso’s primary source of in-depth and investigative reporting since it began publishing in 2020.
Other participants include Fort Worth Report, Houston Chronicle, The Texas Newsroom and WFAA-TV in Dallas.
In 2020, ProPublica and the Tribune launched a first-of-its-kind collaboration to publish investigative reporting for and about Texas. Both organizations publish the team’s stories, which are distributed for free to other news organizations in Texas and beyond. The ProPublica-Texas Tribune partnership is led by El Paso journalist Zahira Torres.
ProPublica is a national nonprofit newsroom that focuses on investigative journalism. The Texas Tribune is a statewide nonprofit news organization that covers a range of topics including K-12 and higher education, health care, immigration, criminal justice, energy, social services, the environment, transportation, civil rights, rural issues and infrastructure.
