Still unclear why criminal justice coverage was first to go
That the Tribune, which has long seemed one of Texas’ most financially stable news orgs, would need to lay people off was shocking enough. That they chose to eliminate positions covering criminal justice and marginalized communities – in fact, eliminating its criminal justice beat altogether – was unfathomable for journalists and justice advocates statewide.

The laid off reporters will not be replaced, but there are two new hires to the sponsorship team and more planned for the development team.

Or why the development and fundraising teams up to now have literally been famous for raising adequate funding.
