The Texas Tribune is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public media organization that aims to promote civic engagement and discourse on public policy, politics, government, and other matters of statewide concern. They produce original journalism on various topics, including education, healthcare, immigration, criminal justice, energy, and more. Their journalists report, write, compile, record, photograph, and visualize news, which they share online and through social media channels.

To engage with their audience, they organize on-the-record, open-to-the-public events featuring elected officials and newsmakers. The Texas Tribune also provides user-friendly databases of public information, such as government salaries, political districts, and elected officials. They host numerous live events every year, including their signature annual event called The Texas Tribune Festival, where decision-makers and industry leaders discuss Texas' biggest challenges.

The Tribune is funded through a diversified business model, including a membership program, major donations, corporate sponsorships, events, and other revenue streams. By becoming a member or making a donation, you can support their mission of providing free, independent, and high-quality journalism to all Texans
