Set to launch November 3, the new state-wide online news service is soliciting 1,000 founding members. Here’s what it’s all about. Here’s the shorter version:
“…roiling change and uncertainty about the industry’s future have created an unprecedented opportunity to explore new business models and experiment with both the creation and presentation of content. We mean to do the public’s business by encouraging civic engagement and civil discourse. By donating to the Texas Tribune, you join us in that endeavor.”
I became a member because I think the state needs it. Consider plunking your 50 bucks on the line with me. (Btw, guys, I like your logo. Maybe TxDot would consider hiring the designer to redo our awful Texas license plates.)
