About our authors The Texas Tribune is the only member-supported, digital-first, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans, and engages with them, about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. The Tribune was founded by John Thornton (a venture capitalist in Austin for nearly 20 years and a passionate believer in public media), Evan Smith (the veteran editor-in-chief of Texas Monthly and host of a weekly interview program on PBS stations), and Ross Ramsey (former owner and editor of Texas Weekly, the state's premier newsletter on politics and government, now rebranded as The Blast). The Texas Tribune and its destination website were launched in November 2009. Now with a staff of nearly 70 dedicated reporters, editors, technologists, designers and business leaders, the Tribune has continued to advance its mission of bringing greater transparency and accountability to public policy, politics and government through news, data and events.
