This blog isn’t just about me — it’s about investigative journalism, and how we can keep it alive in a time of slashed newsroom budgets.

I’m an editor at the Houston Chronicle and often blog about the excellent work of my colleagues at the Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News.
If you’re new here, you’ll find interviews with journalists who share the story behind the story; reviews of gear, apps and reporting tools; and posts about how we can save watchdog reporting.
A one-way conversation is no fun. Let me know what kind of posts you like to read.
Thanks for visiting.
