The Texas Tribune is one of nonprofit news’ brightest stars. Here at Nieman Lab, we’ve covered the award-winning newsroom closely, from its launch in 2009 to, just last year, when it expanded into regional coverage for the first time. Since founding Revenue Lab in 2019, the Tribune has advised hundreds of other news orgs on revenue and business sustainability. “By sharing our journalism and offering training and information sharing to spark innovation,” their 2022 annual report reads, “the Tribune sends ripple effects throughout the news industry and lifts up our peers.” The same report shared that the Tribune ended the year with a record-high 10,000 members and that more than 9,000 people attended the annual Texas Tribune Festival.
It came as a shock to many, then, when the Tribune announced the first layoffs in its 14-year history late last week.
