The Texas Tribune

The Texas Tribune is an Austin-based nonprofit newsroom with no single owner, governed by an independent board and funded primarily through foundation grants, individual donations, and events. Media bias analysts rate it as center-left to lean-left, with fact-based state-politics reporting that tilts slightly liberal in story selection, particularly on immigration and social policy. Since Trump's second term began in January 2025, its coverage of administration actions — including immigration enforcement, DACA deportations, border militarization, and federal spending cuts affecting Texas — has been broadly critical in tone and framing.
