About John Tedesco

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 the managing editor of the Houston Landing, a nonprofit newsroom that launched in 2023. I often blog about the excellent work of my former colleagues at the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News, and I review tools that can help anyone become a better storyteller.

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 and thanks for visiting.
