Earlier this month, the Texas Tribune announced plans to launch a community-based, local journalism initiative. In a press release Wednesday, the Texas Tribune shared more information about its first local newsroom in Waco, including a new name.
The Waco Bridge will be an online-first, non-profit news organization focused on solutions journalism and community engagement. This is the first local newsroom in the Texas Tribune’s new statewide network.
The Waco Bridge is planning to launch in early 2025 and partner with local media to help fill existing coverage gaps. Ahead of this launch, The Waco Bridge is hiring for three positions and expects to open more soon. To learn more, visit wacobridge.org.
