The Texas Tribune Regional Newsletter Survey

Help us design a newsletter for regional and rural Texas

The Texas Tribune has been expanding into regions outside of major metro areas, including Lubbock, Lufkin, the Permian Basin (starting in July), and hopefully soon, the Rio Grande Valley. We are placing journalists in these communities to highlight their specific issues through a state politics lens.

Our journalists have been hard at work integrating themselves into these communities. We think it’s time to share their work in a newsletter highlighting these regions, and we’re seeking your feedback. This survey will help guide our team as we plan this new product. All feedback is collected anonymously. We expect the survey to take less than five minutes to complete. 

We know everyone’s different. Describe how you interact with The Texas Tribune.
